Information
The coastline is a junction between earth, sea and sky. It is a place of margins and connections. Here we come face to face with the past exposed in the cliffs.
The Jurassic Coast is famous for these rock exposures. For this reason UNESCO listed it a World Heritage Site.
But there is a problem; coastal processes cause constant change. The heritage value of the site stems from the shifting rock face, despite the risks of erosion and cliff retreat.
Tracing Coastlines explores our contradictory understandings of these coastal processes through 'artistic intervention'.
