Delighted to have an Honourable Mention and two nominees in the 13th Black and White Spider Awards
and to be included in the Winners Book.
PzM is my forthcoming exhibition based on the Jersey sea wall.
At CCA Galleries International 2nd November -23rd November.
PzM
Taking the Jersey sea wall as its primary subject, this series seeks to bring together the old and
the new; to blend the past with the present, the dark with the light.
Built by the Nazis during the Second World War, the sea wall is a prominent feature of Jersey's
coastline and was constructed to ward off a British attempt to recapture the Island. Prisoners of
war from Russia and Spain, amongst other countries, were drafted in as slave labour to work under
horrific conditions on the construction of what the Nazis called “anti-tank walls”; Panzermauren in German,
abbreviated to PzM in their files.
With time, the sea wall has become incorporated into the Island's identity and assimilated into its
inhabitants' collective consciousness, emerging through the years as a seemingly organic extension
of the coastal landscape.
The wall both impacts, and is impacted by, the environment. Since its construction, it has protected
the Island from high tides and strong winds and, without it, Jersey's coastline would have a significantly
different appearance. The wall itself, though, is constantly changing as it continually bears the brunt of
the barrage of elements from which it protects the Island.
This series of photographs contrasts the horrors of war implicit in the wall with the beauty of Jersey's coast
and the life which goes about upon it. Through the use of multiple exposures, other surrounding elements
are brought into relief; elements which both modify the wall's surface and its meaning: the beach, the sea,
and shadows.
With the passing of time and the layering of memories, meaning changes. And the sea wall, that constant
relic of war, now agedly sits, scarred by the elements, in counterpoint to signs of life and leisure, in a context
of beauty and of peace.
Hope you will be able to join us.
