SEA BLUES

“Genius Loci” The distinctive character or atmosphere of a place with reference to the impression that it makes on the mind. To look at what makes this place special other than its physical characteristics and location.

An investigation into colour, by block printing selected colours from photo’s. Lazer printing these colours produced some beautiful, subtle imperfections. very much epitomising my project, the pages become about the sea and the weather and a lack of control over the elements, reflected by this certain lack of control over the printing process.

For each colour, I wrote a very short, concise verse. These become almost simple, dis-jointed recordings of each day, which begin to interpret my emotions, senses and experiences in relation to this environment.
