beside the seaside, North Devon 2010

and CHANGE… this change of circumstance; a new outlook. THE SEA, THE SEA; no urban facade, this coming HOME, to spray, to wind and rhythmic TRANCE. to SCRATCH the surface of all things…

“the common limpet (patella vulgata) has but one home, one safe space upon its rocky shore whereon to perch, where upon it doth return at low tides sea-less state and seals itself ’til seas return and living out its fate.”

A continuing body of work looking at the root of drawing for inspiration, safe in the knowledge that we are all coming home… I have been fascinated by the energy of nature, by the sparkling, rhythmic elements of motion, by prana; the dots and lines of moments in my eyes when I look to the sea, when I am quiet inside, to see the ethereal nature of life…

we TOUCH the Earth the world beneath and around us , we see ourselves within it all from a DISTANCE.
