I worked with poet Jacob Polley, who was lecturing at St Andrews University, to engage him on the project before construction began and his commissioned poem evokes the processes and subjects of early photography, specifically in and strongly associated with St Andrews. The poem is engraved into granite seating in a new public space overlooking East Sands Bay in St Andrews with a large line of text visible to people using the coastal footpath and smaller stanzas to be discovered when people sit on the granite. Jacob went onto be awarded the 2016 TS Eliot Prize for poetry for his collection, Jackself.

In addition we commissioned glass artist Effie Burns to make a series of cast glass lenses set into granite finger posts extending the photography theme.
