Originally Commissioned by Mural Stories.

According to the Climate Central app , areas of the UK are likely to be affected by rising tides. In this project, I have focused on areas of Kent which are vulnerable to sea level rise. Thanet in particular used to be an island, and is likely to become an island again in the coming decades.

Submerged Landscapes is an ongoing project where I document the affected areas before they are submerged, using the materiality of the sea within the production of the work. To produce these images, I have used plant based film developer (seaweed: bladderwrack, serrated wrack, sea spinach, alexander) anthotypes made from sea spinach and fixative made from seawater.

Originally, a website page was created to present the artwork.
