I created Fugitive, a digital print installation about South Coast wetlands, specifically for the Worthing Museum and Art Gallery. It featured a series of large-scale prints inspired by photographic imagery I gathered in area wetlands in 2020 and 2021. I worked with projection, photography and digital print to design the exhibition, which also responded to the Gallery’s Edwardian architecture.
Since 2018, I have been working on a research-based project about vulnerable wetlands and climate change in a range of river and coastal locations. For this exhibition, I explored wetlands on the South Coast of England, including Lymington and Keyhaven in The North Solent and Chichester, Pagham and Portsmouth Harbours.
I wanted to share my passion for these fragile and beautiful coastal habitats, which are threatened by rising sea levels and pollution. It’s heartbreaking to see the overgrowth of algae, from agricultural runoff and dumping of sewage, that is engulfing South Coast wetlands. Southern Water have continued dumping raw sewage into coastal waters, as recently as October 2021, even after being handed a record £90 million fine.
Fugitive ran in tandem with Wetlands / Shifting Shorelines, my outdoor print exhibition on the Worthing Seafront Promenade.
