In 2023 Salts Mill at Saltaire in West Yorkshire displayed David Hockney's biggest picture - a 90.75 metres wide frieze recording the changing seasons in and around his French garden in Normandy.
The work joins together some of the 220 iPad pieces Hockney created during 2020. He comments on the work: "the viewer... will walk past it like the Bayeux tapestry, and I hope they will experience in one picture the year in Normandy".
Sir Titus Salt built this mill on the River Aire so the village was named Saltaire.
The mill is now a mixture of art galleries (David Hockney), shops and cafes.

I fancied doing something a bit different this lunchtime so I went to see David Hockney's "Bigger Trees Near Warter" (a huge 50 panel painting) at Cartwright Hall. It's a very impressive piece of art.

Had a look around the other galleries, took a few piccies and went back to my desk feeling suitably chilled. Like a numpty I agreed to work tomorrow, harumpf. But never mind I'm having Thursday AND Friday off next week - lovely long weekend, yay!

Salt's Mill, built in 1853 by Sir Titus Salt - formerly a textile mill, now a mixture of gallery spaces, shops and restaurants with exhibitions of work by David Hockney
The swimming pool which is the subject of the photograph is owned by Shillingford Bridge Hotel and is on the opposite side of the road to the hotel building. I have often driven past it and glimpsed the pool out of the corner of my eye and each time it makes me think of David Hockney's painting "A Bigger Splash", and this was the inspiration for the image. I had to take the photo from outside the pool area on the road, and couldn't get a better angle on it.

There was an exhibition of some of the work David Hockney undertook while spending the COVID-19 period in Normandy.
Salts Mill in Saltaire, Bradford, Yorkshire. Part of the World Heritage Site that now houses shops, a museum and a collection of David Hockney's original work.
The mill was first opened in 1853 and completed in 1876 and a village for the workers grew up alongside.
It's well worth a visit and photographing.

Uschi Gerschner is a freelance Photojournalist and lives on City Island in New York. She booked the day to share her photography with us all and to support myself through this project and obtain a custom piece of art. I sent her an email to get a feel for what style of photography she would want. I suggested for her to look at a blank spot on her wall and imagine what type of photo would look good there or send me some other artists she was a fan of as I thought it would be fun to try to imitate their style.
Uschi mentioned that her favorite artist was David Hockney (see his work here). Regarding his photographic work, he is famous for creating whole images from a collage of smaller individual frames from a scene. Uschi also mentioned that she loves travel and wanted a photo representative of my area; the Rocky Mountains in all their bright, winter, snowy glory.
Uschi also has a "one photo a day" blog and the results have been so interesting. Check it out and also give her a Follow on Twitter @uschi13.
[About this Shoot: I experimented with this collage style of photography many years ago with film. I wanted to try to replicate this with digital. I went high up Lookout Mountain (near Golden, CO) and found a perfect spot to capture as the sun was setting. I took 185 frames, some vertical, some horizontal, and some tilted.
I created a large canvas in Photoshop and began piecing the photos in to create the completed image. I ended up using 26 different exposures and it took much longer than anticipated. I think using film is much easier as you can spread the prints on the floor and begin taping together puzzle style. Nevertheless, it was fun doing this and a style I'll definitely be experimenting with much more in the near future.]
This is telling the story of the unnoticed and underappreciated chair. This type of work is inspired by David Hockney, the use of multiple images to create one unified photograph.
I've wanted this book for ages and finally decided to treat myself today when the four of us went out for lunch - although I'm not sure when I'll get a chance to read it!
