Between Two Rivers The Sea (In Progress)

The photographs here are inspired by the writing of Gaston Bachelard, who described the sea as both a place and a presence of material imagination. The two rivers that have influenced this work are – at the same time – both legitimate and metaphorical. It can be said that the River Ribble and the River Wyre, on Lancashire’s Fylde coast, ultimately meet the same destination. Yet they travel through unique boundaries, territories, and cultures before falling into a common depository. For those who gravitate towards the shoreline, the sea acts as a poetic mirror, reflecting their own unique journey: the sea becomes, then, an ocean of real and imagined possibilities.
