Transitions and ENSFC

Posted: July 16th, 2010 | Author: lorraine lavan | Filed under: Transitions, Uncategorized | Tags: , | 4 Comments »

There are six students involved in the exciting Transitions project.  We have been to the Great Yarmouth archives and have selected artworks/images that will inspire our responses to the contemporary view of the Great Yarmouth and Gorleston area.  Several students have already identified areas of interest and Enya and Ellen have interviewed members of the public in Great Yarmouth to gain their views on the area. Enya is interested in looking at the contrast between the natural environment and the built environment while looking at and being inspired by the local artist Anthony Aimies. If anyone has any background information of him please add a comment.

  Jack is intersted in textiles and fashion and has made an appointment at Carrow House to look at the collection.  At the moment Jack is interested in Victorian costumes.

Hannah is interested in the equipment and clothing worn by lifeboat men in the past and the present day. 

Charlotte is intersted in beach huts and textured wood.  We are interested in learning what type of belongings people keep in their beach huts.

Ellen is looking for found objects – found on the beach or are marine related for an installation.  Any one with any artefacts or driftwood etc would be appreciated.

Alissa is interested in photographs and local trades and trades people.  How traditional trades compare with modern trades.

Anyone with any comments or images that they can share with us to help us with our research would be greatly appreciated.  Please contact us by comemnt.  Thank you.

    For the Transition project I am interested in Breydon Water and I am keen to learn about the biodiversity of Breydon. If you have any information please leave a reply. I am particularly interested to learn about the bird life and marine life.

    I have a copy of the book “Scribblings of a Yarmouth Naturalist” (2004) by Beryl Tooley, which is an edited selection from the writings of the Yarmouth naturalist Arthur Henry Patterson, ALS (1857-1906), and includes reproductions of some delightfull drawings. There is one chapter on Breydon Water with a recommendation to ready Rev. Richard Lubbock’s “Observations on the Fauna of Norfolk”. There is also a list of sources which might be useful. You are welcome to borrow it.
