Severed Road - The Right Shadows (2025)

This severed road blankets the hill. Grey and undemanding it reluctantly

towards the sea 
creating as it falls
regimented lines of steel 
brown with industrial rust 
that envelops a cowering park.

The park - where...
lovers argue and kiss...
young men drink...
and children play. 

From the sea below 
comes the smell and spell 
of promise, 
as dredgered stones 
rattle loudly on concrete and flesh.

In the studio I am surrounded by the archives and leftovers of previous projects and exhibitions. They are a constant reminder of how ideas either developed or fell apart. Success' and failures I suppose. Having finished The Mercy Path (2024) and Half Stolen Buildings (2024) I have now started placing all my work: MicroFlashFiction, Documentary Fiction Photography and Painting, under an umbrella working title - The Right Shadows (2025).
Again, I'm guessing, work will accumulate in the studio, get mixed up with previous bits and pieces and go off at tangents that I'm currently oblivious to. It's how I like to create...
