The Magical World of Seaford Head
”It's always heartwarming and inspiring to come across projects and communities that invoke public spaces with visual arts as a form of telling stories of one's land and people. As an artist, my heart swells when I get access to a project that allows me to take a deep dive into a well of stories that share our relationship to our biodiversity and its people.
Through this artwork, I share the magical beings and people that come to be a part of Seaford Head - viewers can discover and learn about all the many fascinating beings that also call Seaford their home.” - Svabhu Kohli
