Rockpools & Seashores and Helston Hedgerows & snails.

By  Henny Burnett 2012

Martin Urmson

A series of photograms made on the shore of Lamorna Cove and in the rockpools of Cot valley beach/Porth Nanven and Priest’s Cove; which investigate and document the miniature marine environments and precarious ecosystems in rockpools and seashores. I used both photographic paper and liquid emulsion painted on different surfaces. The Helston hedgerows series were made in the hedges of Helston at night and captured not only the flora and fauna but the night activities of snails that were busy that evening.
