The recent completion of Shetland’s new Museum and Archives marks the end of ‘Art on Site’, a stunning photographic documentation of the construction of the building and surrounding Hays Dock area.



Mark Sinclair of PhatSheep Photography was one of the artists chosen from over 200 local and national applicants to take part in ‘Art on Site’, a public art project funded by Shetland Amenity Trust to document the construction of Hays Dock (Lerwick, Shetland) in a creative way.



“I was delighted to be chosen to take part in such a significant project which has at times been very challenging to shoot, but has ultimately been a hugely rewarding experience” Mark Sinclair



For this project Mark chose to take photographs of the entire construction process of this dynamic new building right up to and immediately after it opened to the public. This contemporary visual archive of the build process spread over 22 separate visits took over 2 1/2 years to complete. Using a variety of different cameras, lenses and techniques Mark has produced an exciting and dramatic journey, from the first steel work through to the finished populated building. This series of beautiful and thought provoking images forms a unique contemporary record from an artist’s perspective.
