I spend long periods alone on the shoreline, working around the tides. Much of the process is simply waiting; watching the sea advance and retreat, returning to the same rock pools again and again. The work asks me to surrender authorship to the landscape, allowing water, light and time to become collaborators in the making of each image.

The series explores the cyclical repetition of motherhood alongside the movement of the tides. Both return again and again, yet neither is ever quite the same. Family photographs of my children growing up are left in tidal rock pools as an offering to the sea, where they are gradually altered by seawater, algae, light and time. Each photograph becomes both a record of our encounters with this coastline and of my own experience of learning to let go.
