Local History

Claire Rollet embarks on an investigative project researching her local area and creating reportage illustrations of traders.

After moving to the vibrant coastal city of Brighton, Claire researched its history and quickly discovered it's always been a bustling trading place. Sparking her interest, she decided to meet and interview local businesses and in collaboration with Brighton's Local Magazine, publish the interviews.

Claire adds, "This is an on-going project where I am meeting truly interesting individuals going about their business. Here is Clockmaker Rosie Kirk in her studio, filled to the ceiling with ticking mechanisms."
