Let There Be Light

Jonny Hannah took his ability to absorb, conjure and reflect fantastical places to Hartlepool, working towards Shipbuilders and Fisherfolk, an exhibition based on the town's legends, stories and psycho-geography that was commissioned to commemorate the Tall Ships Race visiting Hartlepool in 2023. The exhibition ran from June until November 2023, with installations at Hartlepool Art Gallery and the Museum of Hartlepool.

Let There Be Light, our Random Spectacular publication, is the result of Jonny's time spent exploring Hartlepool with psycho-geographers Murdo Eason and Gavin Parry. As Jonny describes, "in this book, you have what we found, heard, tripped over and photographed, thunk and scribbled."

This graphically rich limited edition book features new work that Jonny has created in a number of different mediums, along with essays by Murdo and Gavin.
