Fraisthorpe Beach (02)

This was one of two A1 sized 'Fraisthorpe Beach' photos I showed in an exhibition called 'Strange Familiars' that took place in October 2021. It was held at Espacio Gallery, East London. The exhibition was originally due to take place in April 2020.

 

Here is an explanation behind the exhibition:

 

'The people we meet, the places we visit, or even a simple object we have or use can seem very familiar. But occasionally, when we are in that familiar place, or with those familiar faces or holding that familiar object we look again, and discover something new, something strange.

 

Twenty-two London photographers present ‘Strange Familiars’, a vibrant exhibition that perhaps catches a contemporary mood as much as it explores nuance in the everyday. With work that stretches from nature photography, street photography and portraiture to architectural studies and abstract, this compelling show presents a very diverse range of contemporary photography.'

 

A big thank you to krystina stimakovits for having the vision for this exhibition before lockdown hit us all.

 

Thanks too to Jenny Nash for curating the eventual exhibition.

 

This exhibition was by the Central London group of London Independent Photography ('LIP'). Here is a link to the LIP website: www.londonphotography.org.uk/upcoming/feed-3/

 

I took these two 'In Camera' double exposure photographs of subsided wartime concrete pillboxes on the beach at Fraisthorpe, Yorkshire, where coastal erosion remains an issue.
