Tim Etchells on Shelter Piece (1st January 2010)

Tim Etchells’ second work Shelter Piece for Weston-super-Mare is sited in a shelter on Marine Parade.

Here Etchells talks about how he was particularly drawn to the formal grid structure of the windows on all three sides of the shelter and the simplicity of the architectural construction which faces onto an uninterrupted view of the expanse of Weston Bay. Etched into the glass windows of this shelter are a series of short text fragments, written by Etchells, which detail the scenes he observed on a summer’s day spent in Weston-super-Mare in July 2010.
