Memories on the Edge

For many Australians, annual holidays involve a decamping of
life to the beach, a settling into new rules and routines, and
becoming part of that most interesting transition zone where
the land meets the ocean. The air-water interface plays tricks on
the eyes, the camera responds differently in the portrayal of
emotional tone; being engulfed in the turbulent surf often
transforms the photographer’s view in unexpected ways.
Memories of youth seen through the prism of a turbulent adult
life can be sharp or fractured, soft or harsh: often simplified,
idealised and abstracted.
