Wooden Egg-shaped Houseboat lands in Rock-a-Nore Road!


The Exbury Egg arrived in Rock-a-Nore Road yesterday, landing by the Jerwood Gallery. Artist, Stephen Turner lived on the egg in Exbury, Hampshire, for a year between 2013-14, and since then it appears to have been travelling the country as an exhibit, and now is in Hastings.
Stephen, helped by architect Wendy Perring, designed the houseboat as a means to 'explore the nature of the landscape and the meaning of place' in a time of environmental change, and the 6 metres long and 3.5 metres wide egg was built by boat builder Paul Baker. 
It's now time for Hastings folk to appreciate the project!
