Combining digital photography, cyanotype, clay and an eroded brick from the beach, the work considers processes that shape landforms over time. Each element reflects a different pace of erosion, inviting us as the fourth element to consider where we fit within these rhythms. 

Part of the ongoing body of work ‘Aqua, terra (f)lux’, exploring the meeting point of land, water and light, and our connection with an ever changing landscape where land becomes sea and sea becomes land.

Shortlisted for the 8th John Ruskin Prize, London, 2026.
