‘Watchkeepers – walls with eyes’

I was interested in the idea that our buildings outlive us and that they bear witness to all our trials and tribulations. The ‘Beauty Queens’ (row of houses known as Wave Crest in Whitstable) here are the eyes, watching the seasons change, seeing our joy, our struggle, our exhilaration. They stand firm and unchanging, mere bystanders as the weather goes from one extreme to the next. We, our actions prompted and controlled by the weather, play out the days scene for their amusement.
