The Landing Place

The Landing Place I, II & III are a series of three paintings commissioned by curator Christina Hesford for Rockliffe, inspired by the landscape and coastline of the North East of England.

The title ‘The Landing Place’ takes its name from the Old Norse meaning of Staithes - stæð.
