Based on my local covered market, St Nicks Market in Bristol, which is a five minute walk from my studio. In my version of the market, the people have left for the day, and the creatures of the sea have taken their place. It’s a dream and maybe a vision of the future, and owes something to Maurice Sendak’s ‘In the Night Kitchen’ as well as Edward Bawden’s beautiful London market prints.
In the foreground a shark fisherman displays his catch of the day. A nervous fish passes by swiftly.
