6x6 photographic negative processed with ocean water collected from site.
Within the restrictions of its four borders, every photograph is flawed. A tension arises for what exists beyond the scope of vision, beyond the fixed frame of the frozen moment. This image was taken at Broulee beach - it was early winter and the cold light made the day seem timeless and full of potential. This image is from the first roll of 6x6 medium format film I processed with ocean water. The corrosive nature of the salt breaks open the permanency of the photograph and an essence of the site enters the frame.
