Maryport Migrant
A diary entry in May 2013 records the exciting finding of ‘the broad old leather seat of a bicycle saddle’. Maryport’s ghosts and echoes offered something very distinctive, and I knew as I picked it up that its neck, body and tail lay waiting 250 miles south in the studio.
Once the leather saddle head was attached, creating an appropriately symmetrical posture, two sturdy steel legs rescued from a scrapped sheep crach were introduced to the underbody of driftwood. The long tail necessitated a tall perch, and Jo found a beautiful length of teak breakwater buttress about 500 metres along the beach from our home. Lovely subtle colours hum here; chocolate saddle, bleached white neck, body and tail, set upon a soft pinkish perch (I like to think it’s happy this far south).
