Di Grissell at her home, Brightling park
Over the past few months, Iāve been lucky enough to spend time with Di and her family at their house while working on my final degree project.
The estate was once owned by the british eccentric āMad Jackā Fuller, who built a number of follies around the park in early 1800s. Iāve spent the last few months living here, researching the areaās history and the people who still call this place home
From my larger project : miles from anyone
@docphotusw
Iāve been working with a very familiar story recently and it seems only fitting to share one of my most recent pictures today (spring equinox!!)

Drawings traced on the back of a Henry Thomas Alken book. This would have been done by the children in the house around 1890, before being sent for archiving... to the museum that shall not be named.
A Turner
This here is an engraving from a group of sussex subjects painted for John Fuller (1816). This one is of Pevenset Bay with a far view of the downs. Fuller was locally notorious for... amongst other things... his extravagant construction of follies near his home the Rosehill Estate, now known as Brightling Park.
As I continue this project I keep on finding more and more connections with other things. Not sure what that means exactly but hereās a pretty picture.
anyway, turner for turner?
Thanks to @townergallery
More things for this damn appā¦ hereās another wee book!
Little old stories
āDoes folklore age you?
Or are we just old?
Maybe to care for a once celebrated life disconnects you from our own, or are we just an extension of the life gone before usā¦ā
