“I was attracted by the man-made flotsam and jetsam of sea-worn metal and brightly coloured plastics. There was once so much of it that if the mood took me I could choose objects by theme or colour.”

WASHED UP is a free photography exhibition showing as part of this year’s JAM on the Marsh, a multi-arts festival taking place on Kent’s atmospheric Romney Marsh. The exhibition is a comment on our culture of waste and aims to draw the observer in with a compilation of discarded objects including plastic lighters, bottles, gun cartridges and fishing paraphernalia, all found and washed up on beaches from Dymchurch to Dungeness. Bringing attention to a significant topic of our time and providing an example of human impact on nature.

The exhibition can be seen at St. George’s Church Ivychurch from 4 – 16 July. I will be giving a free artist talk on Friday 7th July, discussing aspects of my creative practice and inspiration behind the artworks. There will also be opportunity to purchase limited edition prints and art postcards. The talk will take place at 6pm in the South Aisle and you are all warmly invited.
