Sir Paul Kenny is an abstract artist, born in Salford, Manchester. He is most famous for his ‘Sea Works’ photographs, created in Northumberland where he now lives. He creates arrangements in his studio of materials that he finds in landscape by the sea. He finds materials such as shells, stones, pebbles and driftwood. He has also collected sea water and let it dry and crystallise, developing this technique for several years. He repeatedly dripped the water onto a negative on a glass plate then creates the beautiful effects in the darkroom or scans the objects onto the computer by using a scanner.
