<strong>Lewes</strong> Bonfire<br />
The morning after...<br />
Do you visit one of the Bonfire sites on the 5th? Photographer and <strong>Viva</strong> Brighton regular<br />
JJ Waller sent us these pictures which he took last year on the evening of Bonfire Night<br />
and the morning of the 6th. He wrote:<br />
‘I see an intrinsic sculptural beauty in these bonfires. I am fascinated by their transient<br />
nature, a form of unremarked folk art. The structures are simple but skilfully assembled.<br />
I have great respect for the altruistic efforts of the bonfire captains who make them:<br />
creations whose sole destinies are to be reduced to ash. Very often it is the fireworks and<br />
the effigies that take the public gaze but the bonfire is at the core of the event…These<br />
pictures’, says JJ, ‘are a testament to their art.’<br />
JJ has also produced a bonfire poster – see jjwaller.com<br />
