Artist of the Week: Pete Hackett

This week our Artist of the Week is Lyme Regis-based photographer Pete Hackett. Pete originally studied Fine Art in Hull, in the 1970s, and since then has been self-employed, travelling the world with his job. He thinks of himself as an Artist/Photographer/Carpenter, and began taking photos to use in other projects which never materialised, to the photos themselves became the 'work'.
