Beacon Hill Fort Hosts Vibrant Summer Art Exhibition

Larain Briggs and Jamie Limond are both fine art professional doctorate students who are nearing the completion of their year at East London University.

They displayed their artwork at the Harwich Arts and Heritage Centre in February 2024.

Larain’s exhibition included a maze, which was a “labyrinth of mirrors” inspired by numerous contemporary and old philosophers on the issues of the “meta crisis and transcendence”.

Jamie’s included the ancient craft of spoon carving, and a video called ‘The Patient’, which included clips of his circumnavigation of the UK and Ireland by boat.
