 My work with the coast suggests a powerful and mysterious presence at work, a territory where something has happened or is about to happen.
Scratch the surface and you discover hidden narratives and events.
Be it the forces of nature or often-ironic actions of people.
My photographs combine reportage and fine art disciplines.
The seaside is a stage. It is on the limit of people’s worlds where they act out bizarre rituals.
A place charged with nostalgia and expectancy, where humanity meets the power of nature.
The landscape that has traditionally been portrayed, as being unified and harmonious is instead shown as confused- to express conflict between expectation and reality.

Profile
Born in Wales in 1952, I became interested in film and photography at a
young age. As a child I lived in a large house whose dramatic
landscaped grounds were where I created my own imaginary world and
where I made my first images and films. It was where I built a small
puppet theatre.
