SUMMARY:Williamson Art Gallery & Museum: Williamson Art Gallery: Stephen Hi
 tchin - Shooting the Sun
DESCRIPTION:AN EXHIBITION OF SCULPTURES BY WIRRAL-BASED SCULPTOR STEPHEN HI
 TCHIN.\n\nStephen cites the extreme environment of the maritime world as t
 he main inspiration for his work. It is the energy and the continually cha
 nging environment which he finds inspiring for his practice. Artists have 
 been captivated by the sea for centuries: romance\, tragedy\, myths\, expl
 oration\, trade and communication have all been facilitated by the sea.\n\
 nNavigation was traditionally based on plotting your course by ‘Shooting
  the Sun’.  The term refers to measuring the altitude of the sun in or
 der to determine latitude\, essential in locating your true position at s
 ea.\n\nThe work for this exhibition is principally made of marble and con
 cerned with three dimensional space\, form and line. His sculptures offer
  as much importance to space and shadows as to the solidity of material. 
  Each work changes with light and viewpoint reflecting the environment t
 hat inspired them.\n\nThe exhibition will run from Saturday 2nd March unt
 il Sunday 14th April.\n\nAbout the artist:\n\nBorn in Liverpool\, Stephen

 graduating he has taught at various institutions including King’s Colleg
 e Wimbledon\, Wirral Art School and since 2012 Glyndwr University\, also a
 s visiting lecturer at School of the Art Institute\, Chicago and Brigham Y
 oung University Utah.\n\nStephen has exhibited extensively including\, on 
 several occasions\, the RA Summer Show.  His work is held in public and p
 rivate collections in the UK\, Sweden\, Switzerland\, Israel and USA.  Hi
