Continuity Connections

Several months were spent travelling the line, chatting with passengers, members of several Community Rail Partnership groups, conductors and rail staff; I asked them to ‘tell me something special about The Poacher Line’ their responses built a picture of this eclectic landscape and its history from the bustling city of Nottingham through to the seaside town of Skegness.

This artwork is one of the longest pieces I’ve produced and measures 27.2m x 1.9m serving as a gateway to the port of Boston. A collage of conversations and many hours of looking through the carriage windows and hopping off the train to explore the sites, visiting museums and meeting people along the way, giving an insight from those who live and work along the route.
