Groynes, Low Water
A field of timber groynes that has been rebuilt four times in ninety years and is losing again. Photographed only at dead low water, always from the same bank, always frontal to the run.
Work
Six series, all open. 274 sheets of film exposed; 12 prints kept. A series closes when the thing in it stops being there, which has happened once.
Chalk, After Rain
Eleven metres of cliff face, photographed frontally and wet, so the flint reads black and the chalk reads paper-white in the same frame.
Saltmarsh, February
Creek systems photographed in the six weeks when the marsh grass is dead and the channels are the only thing with a tone in them.
Storm Beach
The same shingle bank after every storm surge for four years. The bank moves; the camera position does not.
The Old Jetty
What is left of a coal jetty: thirty-one posts, of which nine now stand at slack water. A series that is finishing itself.
Sea Fret
Six prints in which almost nothing is visible. The fret takes the horizon first, then the sea, then everything but the stone at your feet.
