In the Sea Change series I’m re-photographing images I’ve taken on my daily walks on the beach. Using only the natural light that enters my house I create multiple altered versions of the same seascapes. When I photograph the prints I look for happy accidents—moments when strong sunlight falling from skylights, squeezing through blinds, and projecting from windows draws and interacts with the surface of the paper and the image. I further explore the surface and materiality of the prints by folding, scratching or tearing them before shooting them again.
