Wear Interference - Part of my Breathe project.
Wonderful watching this coming together today. It feels like a real turning point for me in my struggle between the terms photographer and artist. This I can honestly say feels like my first real piece of artwork and I finally feel content in calling myself an artist. A beautiful, huge piece of work 2.7 metres high up in the Priestman building, University of Sunderland.
Thanks to @graham_mitchinson
for producing such an amazing print and for helping to make it happen and to @as0jhu for helping to get it on the wall.

Out early this morning chatting to some of the women who brave the cold each morning to swim in the North Sea. Part of my ongoing project, 'Breathe' relating to mental health and the sea, I am shooting stills and video and interviewing for a short film. This is just a little teaser of what I am intending to create. Many thanks to everyone who has agreed to participate.

Breathe - looking out towards Hartlepool and Seaton Carew from Seaham, time spent contemplating the movement and constantly changing colour of the sky, light dancing on the sea, wind turbines highlighted then hidden.

Breathe - light reflecting in the Wear in Sunderland, contemplating the time I've spent in Sunderland over the last four years and the significant body of work I have created here.

Breathe - a short clip of a projection idea I've been working on for a few months, projecting film of the Sunderland coast into a forest twenty miles inland, displacing elements of the environment.

I drifted away from video back to stills photography for a little while, but can't seem to resist all the extra elements that come with it. I like to shoot what I call 'moving photographs', short pieces of video, composed as a still image but with repetative or cycling movement. I also love playing with sound and the level of emotion and tension that can be created with it.

Breathe - A selection of images from my current MA project. Brilliant to be back in the studio at Uni today, even though everything is still quite restricted. It's nice to be able to pin prints to a wall and even though I've worked primarily with digital for over twenty years, I still love the look, feel and aesthetic quality of a real print. That's something that the last year has really made me appreciate even more.

Breathe - A new direction. I almost didn't get out of the door, life is very comfortable at the moment, so going out in the cold, at night, to take photos has become less attractive than it was previously. A year ago I didn't want to be in the house, too many memories to eat away at my thought processes. In an instant that all changed and I no longer have those stresses. The effort to get out of the house was worth it though and seeing the images, that I've worked towards achieving over the last six months, materialise in front of me is incredibly satisfying.

Breathe - As I work on this project, my journey of exploration is taking me further from the work that I imagined I would make and more towards the what I aspired to create. I am drifting away from the sharp, verbatim, facsimiles of reality that I once made and towards something that, for me at least, feels less like photography and more like a contemplative experience. When I look at them, these images conjure up in me the experience of the temperature, smells, sounds, the experience of watching the movement of the sea.

Moonlit seascapes at Hendon beach in Sunderland. Cold, crisp, clear surrounded by the sound of waves hitting the shore, scenes and sounds for contemplation.

Contemplative seascapes. Time spent on beaches and cliff tops, unraveling the mind to the sound of froth on shingle, the crash of waves, gulls crying. Work towards MA Fine Art at Sunderland University.
