David Williams has been making photographic work on/from Portobello Promenade for 4 decades and has lived there for the last two. The Promenader is an ongoing series made over recent years, portraying the location in its uniqueness with the sea as metaphor providing a wider, universal context. Such an approach is very much in line with Williams’ interest in the notion of non-duality as evidenced in much of his output for some time now.
A selection of The Promenader images, with textual contribution by Edinburgh Makar Alan Spence, recently took the form of a large-scale video projection on Portobello Promenade itself. The first in a series of publications of the work is currently in preparation.
