Description
Maggi Hambling's Scallop is a powerful and poetic work that stands at the intersection of culture and nature. This book tells the story behind her iconic sculpture, which has become a beloved landmark on Aldeburgh beach. The artist's own account of how she came to create the 15ft high, six-and-a-half ton stainless steel sculpture is both personal and fascinating. From her childhood love of the sea to the conception and construction of the piece, Hambling shares her passion and vision with honesty and insight. The result is a captivating story that explores the power of art to bring people together and spark debate. Through her own words and those of others who have been affected by the sculpture, Hambling reveals the complex emotions and reactions it has inspired - from joy and admiration to criticism and controversy.
