Hunting
for Serendipity (working title) - Uninterpreted sites in the Thames Estuary
A
long term book project, made in collaboration with the writer Catherine Roberts
and with funding from the University of the Creative Arts:
A collaboration of photography and the written word, created from moments of
informed evocative relationship with uninterpreted landscapes:
Sound Mirror, Warden Point.
Cliffe Lagoon, Kent
Gate to Shellness Beach, Isle of Sheppey
Southend Commercial Pier
Foreness Point, Kent
Anti-invasion defences, Isle of Grain
The Crow Stone, Southend
Radar Station Buildings, Warden Point
Naval Searchlight Emplacement, Shoeburyness
Garrison Point Workshop Buildings, Shoeburyness
I wonder why most
pictures are in black and white, but only a few are in colour.
Some have a
warmer tone than others. The most striking ones are in bold black and white. I
think the reason for different types of photographs is (apart from Peter Renn
being interested in alternative process) it is to make the viewer read the
narrative differently and to make the viewer look at each picture differently.
My favourite is probably the first photograph Sound Mirror because I like the way the large stone interacts with the landscape surrounding it, I like the title as it does look like a sort of radar dish that would reflect sound.
