Exploring the Kinghorn coastline during a one month residency in 2017, I documented objects, spaces, and buildings that have succumbed to and adapted to the harsh coastal elements. During my time I gathered collections of photographs and videos, focusing on the resilience and transformation of these objects and environments. Often looking down rather than out, I discovered life all around me, solitary and fighting for survival. Discarded items like tyres, washed ashore bore no resemblance to their former selves, tread worn to cracks and crevices, slowly inhabited by moss.

Using an old Sony camcorder with no functional viewfinder, I pointed the lens towards areas that interested me, not knowing or worrying what the final video would look like. As I was filming these rich textural surfaces, I imagined fictional stories for these sites, detached from their physical reality. Creating the sound, I used field recordings captured around the area, tape equipment that I manipulated and experimental sound techniques that further expressed their worn and corroded nature. 

The final works are a series of dream-like sequences, snippets of information being remembered the morning after, not fully formed, scrambled and confused.
