Beneath the Waves: Commissioned for University Hospitals Sussex NHS Trust public art programme and inspired by the geographies, industries and lived experience of the English Channel.

Beneath the Waves explores our complicated relationship with the sea using impossible geometry, diagrams and text alongside expansive seascapes to explore history, ecology and culture of the water's edge.

This works considers the our position in Brighton, by the sea, a permeable yet immense barrier, a portal to the rest of the world. The impossible geometry drawing reflects the unfathomable depths of the sea. We see how the celestial bodies keep our waters moving, how underwater species are monitored to campaign for Marine Conservation Zones and we consider the wartime architecture still surveying the coastline.

This work speaks to how living by the sea affects one’s sense of wellbeing. The feeling of being on the edge of a vast panorama, that can be intriguing yet meditative, a window to the outside world.
