Seafort

by Stephen Turner

Artist Stephen Turner spent the summer of 2005 living on the derelict searchlight tower of the Shivering Sands seafort eight miles off the north Kent coast. This new book is a beautiful documentation of his time marooned there. The Seafort Project was an artistic exploration of solitude and creative contemplation, and the book contains over seventy colour photographs and the artists diary presented as a collection of 'seafort stories'.

The documentation of a fascinating project where the artist Stephen Turner lived for six weeks alone on an old Army observation station in the estuary near Chatham. As well as Turner's photographs and diary excerpts there are essays, an interview and other interesting inclusions. This is a real insight into an artist working in a multidisciplinary fashion.
