Willis Building , Ipswich

Originally the Willis Faber and Dumas Headquarters. Designed by Norman Foster and constructed in the early to mid 1970's. I never get tired of looking at this building as its glass surface always changes and shows you something new. Never been inside it and I believe there's a rooftop garden.
I am working on my third piece in ten years to be influenced by it.

Changing Ipswich

Still for a film piece I'm working on for an open submission at the Town Hall Galleries at Ipswich. This is based on theme of Changing Ipswich. It's my third film involving the Willis building (the black glass structure). Like the monolith in 2001 I'm draw to it. Very interesting building that takes into context it's surroundings yet still remains it's identity. Ipswich has changed a lot in the last few years with the developement of the harbour area. I've taken a few photogrphs of the place in that time. There's some interesting things happening. Change comes from inside people more than within the buildings themselves. My piece is about a journey through time that has happened through the last few thousand years. All we see around us is transitory and continually evolving within in a much larger process and timescale.

"No giving up on theatre protest"...

... was the headline I saw on page 5 of the Lowestoft Journal about the protest last saturday to save the Seagull Theatre.

"Gary Hilton, of the Save our Seagull campaign, thanked everyone who had made the protest such a success"

"Initial response is that Suffolf County Council has given us a stay of execution, inviting further applications to preserve the core of the community arts and theatre in this area."

"We will continue to liase with all concerned parties in order to bring new life to this histirc building and look forward to another 38 years of entertainmenrt, education and community spirit. We have won this round of the battle but the war prevails."
