Earth

Pine  -  Hawthorn  -  Wild Cherry

East Lothian farmland

Stones -  cones - pieces of shell - dry earth

I like looking down, looking at detail ....

The structure of the surface here reminds me of American artist Jan Henle's photo sketches.

Exhibition catalogue cover 1988

The work was created on the island of St.Croix in the West Indies,where Henle grew up.
He meticulously worked land with a plow and shovel then photographed the results.
As in East Lothian, pieces of shell appear on the surface.

 I thought it would be interesting to make a virtual connection by photographing shells from neighbouring islands of
St.Kitts and Antigua on the St.Croix land image .... 

I've had these shells and for years - today they want to communicate!

Thank you for visiting

Pink Clouds

At dusk, a beautiful pink cloud drifts over the sea

Gulls circle looking for food

Shells and organic debris piled up after high tides

In my studio, I've been drying shells on old newspapers, and see the image of blue water and palm trees beneath.
It's an advertisement for Caribbean holidays.......cold north meets warm south!

Happy Weekend!
