Becoming transparent, movement underfoot (Northern Scotland – Orkney)

29 June, 20142 August, 2019

texture of a rockface perhaps,
all golden, scratched fissures – present and distant

Shot of a rocky space, dry looking with warm colours, looking downtexture of a rockface perhaps, all golden , scratched fissuresmetal wire, construction yard or site, plastic bagsseeweed like film close-up with red rocklooking down, tops of shoes, on dark grey brick stones, touches of greendistant image, full moon small above clouds and sea horizonjagged brown rockface, sandy and eroded, summer night sky abovecracked flagstone formation, dark with tide

becoming transparent
borrowed scenery fading now
movement underfoot –
methods and signals,
all interweaving
