Description
Corner door of former Eagle Jute Mill. Info from Open/Close website: "Matthew Beakes is a visual artist and illustrator currently working in Dundee's thriving games industry. In addition to designing elements for games and media, he draws, sketches, and paints, while developing small press comics. Based in Dundee since 2016 - having previously lived and worked across the UK and Ireland, he has developed a keen interest in the theme of home and how people relate to and identify with their own homes, spaces, and cities. This doorway employs surreal, colourful imagery (with a little tongue-in-cheek humour) to explore the ways in which we can celebrate the hope and optimism for the city's future, while acknowledging its unique and lasting character." Open/Close Stobswell project was part-funded by the Maryfield Regeneration Forum and the NHS Community Innovation Fund.
