‘The Bluecoat: Inside & Out’ – Anette Dalzell-Brown

A layered love letter to Liverpool’s cultural heart, The Bluecoat: Inside and Out by Annette Dalzell-Brown offers a dreamlike fusion of past and present, surface and structure. Architectural elements float through veils of translucent colour, echoing music, memory, and movement. You’ll spot violins, gallery spaces, and street textures interwoven like memories—ghosts of creativity stitched into the building’s bones. It’s a piece that rewards slow looking: a montage of place, soul, and lived experience.

Dalzell-Brown’s distinctive mixed media process creates a sense of time collapse—of walking through walls, hearing echoes, and catching the light just right. This is not just an artwork of a building; it’s an artwork of everything the building contains.
