Part of a series inspired by standing on the highest dune, right above the beach at Winterton-on-Sea looking back over the land, then turning towards the sea. The dunes seem to be a repeating pattern of ridges and valleys, the more you look the more you see.
 
Thoughts of impermanence, flux and constant change in the landscape alongside the permanence of historic habitats and the species who depend upon it stretching back through time are juxtaposed in these works.  This is a landscape is a place that very much feels like it belongs to itself first.
 
This work is framed in charcoal by Alastair Smithers Framing.
