Full Moon Rising
This is a three month isolation story.
Because of the world pandemic covid-19 I decided being of high risk with underlying health conditions to returned to my home town Weymouth, Dorset in late March 2020.
It felt important to be near family and was my desire to be close to nature. To see big sky’s and long horizons and the full moon rising over the sea in the black as ink night reminded me of my childhood. During this time I found my self working on a new project.
There was an epic sense to the seascapes, and I enjoyed the expansiveness. Having made early work whilst growing up in Weymouth I found my self being drawn to the environment and people once again. Even in this period of isolation it felt important to make a connection with people and the landscape.
Walking and cycling along the sea shore, suburbs and road trips to other coastal towns and bays near by whilst making photographs along the way I found my self reflecting, on my past and the future.
