Death and the sea

Maggi Hambling

Maggi Hambling has made a film for the BBC's 'Made In England' project. It's part of the Video Nation series and it records, diary-style, her relationship with the North Sea in Suffolk looking at her paintings and Scallop at Aldeburgh. Hambling worked with BBC Suffolk producer Andrew Woodger to make the film and you can watch it here.
