These are the images from my 'F' panel which was originally displayed in two rows of ten. Since childhood I have been fascinated by the sculptures created on sandy beaches by wind, tide and unseen creatures, I could see mysterious creatures within these patterns. I used photography to try and capture the fleeting images . In order to overcome the reality aspect of the photography I have added gentle colour of a personal choice, in others I used the composition to convey the surreal aspect. The knowledge that the next tide will obliterate all traces of its previous art and substitute new works is a challenge that photography accepts well. The unpredictability of this subject is a continual source of inspiration and fascination.

The images were taken on T Max film and printed onAgfa Multicontrast Classic. The toning was achieved by using Fotospeed dyes, Spotone pens and ink.
