Seascape
Charting the span of Susan Collin's 'Seascape' from its earliest online manifestations to its gallery exhibition at the De La Warr Pavilion in Bexhill, this publication offers an overview of this innovative project which uses digital technology to bring a new element to a long-standing pictorial tradition reflecting man's enduring relationship to the sea.

This pocket size 'field guide' features recollections from well-known literary names such as Geoff Dyer, Iain Sinclair, Hari Kunzru, Trezza Azzopardi and Tom McCarthy.
Silicon Fen
