Marram Grass Sea

Spurn Point is a three and a half mile curved spit of sand that curls into the Humber Estuary at the southernmost point of Yorkshire’s coast. The end of the spit rises in height to an elevated plateau of sandy soil. It has been home to human habitation for many centuries.  One of the plateau’s most iconic buildings is the lighhouse that was build in 1893. Today, you can still climb to the top of it and look out at the magnificent views. The lighhouse is surrounded by marram grass whose contorted, wind blown shapes echoes the waves that crash up onto the beaches below. This painting captures the lighthouse in its sea of marram grass, some of which seem to eddy around its base and crash against its side.
