Last Year we had to postpone our trip to Cornwall – twice! We are very lucky to have good friends based centrally int he county and even luckier that they are prepared to put us and the two doggos up for a week or so every year. However last year we simply couldn’t go because we were unable to stay in someone else’s home.
Along with the beautiful Beadnell in Northumberland, much of my inspiration for my final year art degree project entitled “Ebb & Flow” was sourced in Portleven, exploring the concept of decay caused by a destructive sea.
You can read more about the project using the links at the bottom of this post.
It was really interesting for me to go back, very easy to take the same photos again, some show further rust and degradation which in itself is interesting, but also to go with a fresh pair of eyes, keen to spot new subjects.
I’m full of inspiration now – so I’m going to take a little time to study my photographs more deeply and then think about how I express this creatively.
In the meantime if you need to see more, checkout what I created previously:

We obviously share a passion. I have just put up the first painting of a rusting bolt on one of the metal plates from my BRotS series on my FB Art page – you should come to Seaford sometime https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=238217711640203&set=a.130530045742304
