This is from a pair of photographic works of a performance for camera filmed at Godrevy Point at the far eastern point of St Ives Bay in Cornwall. The contrasting pair incorporates the external forces of the sea and the erosion of layers of the artist's butch/masc identity in relation to ageing. This photograph depicts a close up of the terrain of skin and hair mapped by the sun reacting in the salt water. Paired together, the works explore internal and external landscapes, both drawing the viewer into a dark composition and confronting them with the exposed surface of the body through the watery lens of the sea. The coastal landscape crashes with abrasive renewal and is explored in this work alongside the materiality of the body whilst considering the fragility of built-up layers of identity threatened by illness, ageing and corrosion.
