ISOLATED COASTLINE

Isolated Coastline is the result of two years spent walking the length of England’s south coast. The images capture simple, often overlooked moments set against the backdrop (or facing away) of the English Channel, a body of water of profound historical significance to the UK. It has long served as a natural defence against invasion, facilitated trade and tourism as one of the world’s busiest shipping routes, and fostered a strong sense of national identity and pride.

As such, this edge of land became a fitting place to make work that reflected a growing sense of unease: a feeling of life in England becoming increasingly insular, shaped by its gradual separation from Europe.
