Review of ‘Wood to Water’ at the NMMC. 23 minutes in…
‘Before he became an artist James Dodds was an apprentice shipwright, and boats remain the focus of his attention. For his new exhibition, Wood to Water, at the National Maritime Museum, Cornwall, Dodds has painted a series of large – some very large – pictures of the traditional boats of the region, but these are not the usual views of the vessels at sea, with wind, waves and weather. Dodds is concerned with boats as sculptural shapes and with the details of their construction. The Cornish maritime historian, John McWilliams, reviews.’

Trying to contact Jamie.
My father ran Cooks Shipyard in Wivenhoe for many years. I would love one of Jamie’s works of the shipyard to remember my father by.
