St. Peter Port Seafront - print of ink drawing on board by Louise Le Tissier

ARTIST STATEMENT: My drawing realistically and accurately captures the beautiful character of St Peter Port, through its picturesque physical landscape and building structures. By using only black pigment liners, I have provided an honest and detailed representation. My drawing enhances the idea of regularity which is shown through the buildings and in particular the windows. Inspired by my geography A-level, in which we study the concept of ‘changing places’ and our attachment to places, my piece evokes a strong ‘sense of place’ which is present in the area. ABOUT THE ARTIST: This piece is Shortlisted in the 2021 Sovereign Art Foundation Students Prize in Guernsey. Louise created this piece aged 17 while a student at Ladies College. She was also Shortlisted in 2020.
