A strong connection with the sea
Attraction to industrial seascapes
Metal hulls, rusting nails and weathered boards
Processes of layering, scraping and shaping
Play with surface and depth
Tension between formal structure and chance
Symbolism and metaphor playing a part
Lighthouse, anchor, port, welded signage, plimsoll line, nautical map, sailors’ tattoos
Navigation, safety, survival
A sense of place . . .
. . . a place to dwell.
