‘…as if the water — blue, green, grey, navy or silver as it might be — were enough to watch…’ Sylvia Plath

Neither dry land nor fully aqueous, tidal estuaries are threshold territories whose character is determined by water. In the ceaseless cycle of ebb and flow, soft surfaces are alternately sculpted and eroded, rigid mass exposed and concealed, while the literally fluid visual field generates endlessly shifting conditions of colour, light, shadow, reflection and transparency.
