Hole - work in progress - Patricia McKinnon-Day

Stanley Spencer's Shipbuilding is a dynamic series of large-scale, frieze-shaped canvases depicting workers in their roles at Port Glasgow shipyard during the Second World War.

Commissioned by the War Artists' Advisory Committee in 1940, these paintings were added to Imperial War Museum's collection shortly after the War.

Spencer's rarely shown drawings and preparatory sketches from the Museum's extensive collection complement these epic paintings.

Red dapple - Patricia McKinnon-Day

Patricia McKinnon-Day was the first and only artist-in-residence at Cammell Laird shipyard, Birkenhead, during its final year of operation before closure in 2001.

McKinnon-Day has been invited by IWM North to work with A & P shipyard in Birkenhead and to produce a new work in response to the theme of shipbuilding.

This work is a digital video project exploring the theme of shipyards that will be projected onto the stunning aluminium wall in Daniel Libeskind's Special Exhibitions Gallery.
