This work in progress focuses on Whitsand Bay in Cornwall (UK) and includes black-and-white photographs of large beach rocks paired with pigment paintings. I collect pigments from mudstone and siltstone pebbles on the beach that have eroded from the cliffs. I grind these stones into pigments, turning them into watercolour paints stored in shells from the beach. The final paintings are compositions that arrange the pigments by color and hue, juxtaposed with black-and-white photos of the large rocks at Whitsand Bay.

My practice is fundamentally concerned with the concept of place and how to perceive and convey its essence. This exploration is realized through the use of natural materials, alongside traditional forms of representations like photography.
