Erosion

‘Erosion’ is an expression of the artist's passion and concern for the coastal environment. The work spans the disciplines of screen print, wood cut, photography and film, and shows the dramatic effects of an increasingly powerful and encroaching sea. In tandem with the prints, are a series of photographic images portraying 'environmental mark making', on a series of copper plates exposed to the sea over a winter of incessant storms.
