This atmospheric series of photographs by Tim Brennan explores how geography, personal memory and social history intersect. In the tradition of the seascape, the images depict the North Sea, where most of the North's unmined coal still resides. The photographs in the exhibition have been created using a low-resolution mobile phone camera which when enlarged beyond clear definition, the images become hazy and impressionistic, suggesting the more abstract works of Turner. Tim Brennan is viewed as one of the most important artists to contribute to the social and political role of contemporary art particularly around minimalism, performance and land art. He is Programme Leader for MA Curating at the University of Sunderland.
