STUDIO & LANDSCAPE

“Beside the water you become aware of the constant motion of the waves and of your sense of ‘being’, aware that the day comes and goes as the tide rises and falls.

I think there is something considered and gentle about living and working beside the ocean, it feeds into your every day and somehow shapes you. It instils an understanding of ebbs and flows”.
