A fine art paper print of a hand embroidery documenting a view that no longer exists.
From roughly 1996 until the mid-2010s, a panorama was visible from a bedroom window in Old Swan, Liverpool. The old Blockbuster Video store at its centre, an elm tree on Elms House Road to one side, the ash trees of Allenby Square nursery behind it, the tower of St Anne’s Stanley Church on Cheadle Avenue in the middle distance, and the clock tower of the old Walton hospital just visible on the horizon.
When the site was demolished, the view opened up briefly to reveal things that had been hidden — the main tower of the Meat and Fish Market on Prescot Road, the tower of the old Newsham Hospital in Newsham Park. Absence restoring what absence had taken. Then that view was built over, too.
Winter shows the panorama at its most open: the trees bare, the towers readable, the sky giving everything room. It was made from memory, from photographs taken during the years of demolition, and from twelve grey-scale panorama studies. A companion piece, Summer, shows the same view in full leaf.
