'Making and Note-taking' focusses on my explorations during the beginning of this project. In Chapter Five of my Dissertation, I discuss my navigations regarding the use of water and ocean water within my artistic practice and how water became incorporated within my cyanotype printing. This section is situated within and reflects back upon such findings. It introduces the in situ nature that oftentimes accommodated my art making processes and also presents my initial 'Field Notes' for this project.

video

This video shows the ebb and flow in the ever - changing meeting points between sea and land. In Chapter Three, I note: "Shorelines and areas where terrestrial surfaces meet the sea are the places where most humans have their furthermost prominent physical interactions and experiences with the ocean."
