Over the past two years I’ve walked this small stretch of coastline many times with my daughter Willow. I wanted to experience this place with her, to be affected by her presence when making images. In between the short period when I lost my mother, and my first daughter being born, I became preoccupied with ideas about the transient nature of life. I have been connecting these thoughts with this place. Inland, the low-lying landscape is a mosaic of different landform where mudflats, reed beds and tidal channels intertwine. Where waters coalesce, natural recurring processes shape the land in a slow but ceaseless passage of time. Amidst rock pools and dark waters the origins of life can be seen. Along the beach coastline retreat is accelerating, creating a highly unstable landscape which in places is collapsing into the sea. As the tide wears away the delicate sandstone cliff face, the strata reveals itself with layer lines on its surface. The coast here is a frontier landscape which was once England's most Easterly point. It is now the most eroded stretch of coastline in Britain. Trees that started life growing several hundred yards inland, are perched on top of the cliff edge, seemingly queueing up to meet their fate of falling onto the beach below. Sea spray strips their bark, and tree roots pierce through the rock unable to connect with the earth. Below the cliff line are tree remains lying in the sand, waiting to be swept out to sea and dissolved back into the elements. With rising sea levels and increasingly unpredictable weather patterns, the area will eventually be submerged under water. Returning here and witnessing it disappear is a reminder of how fragile life is. A Point in Time is an intimate study of a small coastal area, and the ephemeral qualities of the landscape. How life in this place is laid bear, from the earliest signs of life in rock pools - to the deteriorating cliff faces and the trees at the end of their life cycle. Observing the subtle, daily changes along this beach has been a vivid reminder of the rapidity of climate change. Consequently, the series has became an elegy to a place that will soon be gone, but is also a meditation on photography’s inherent relationship with time, and its ability to document a moment before it is lost forever.
