#TimeForTrees

Worthing was once a thriving tourism resort. Now it is caught in a time of nostalgia and renewal. The images capture the remains of an era. As a set the images trace the meteorological conditions of the British coast and as single images they capture the fine textures of leaves, water and sky.

With harsh westerly winds some of the palms have not developed equally well. The images are a metaphor for time passing and as a collective they question preconceived ideas of beauty and perfection.

The 6 palms on West Parade are shot on a random day each month for a year (July 2017 - June 2018). The aim was to create a long term body of work emcopassing routine, mindfulness and play. Extracts of the work have been accepted for ‘Resort’ a group show planned for May 2019 at Turner Contemporary in Margate.
