‘Still, Somewhere’
Still, Somewhere is an installation that continues my ongoing practice and my relationship with the coastal landscape. The work begins with thoughts around traces: what remains, what disappears, and what cannot be held in one place. Some things stay with us even when they are far away. Others slowly change until they become difficult to recognise.
The work is influenced by my experience of moving through different coastal landscapes and encountering places that appear familiar, yet never remain the same. The coast is constantly shifting. It holds, erases and rearranges what is left behind.
Within the installation, images appear as fragments. Sand, metal and other materials carry different surfaces and conditions. Marks emerge through pressure, salt and time. Some surfaces remain bright while others begin to change. Forms hold a sense of movement, of something approaching and receding.
Still, Somewhere exists between what is present and what has already begun to disappear.
