Shore - a photo book
Shore - a book created as part of the Shore Life project selected for the exhibition "To Shine a Light | Who Dared to Dream " at the Royal Photographic Society 2024.
Abstract images created with found objects from the sea shore, along with words written by the author and photographer, Caroline Fraser.
21cm x 21cm. Soft cover. Perfect bound.
The book ‘Shore’ is a component of a larger project 'Shore Life' based on the sea shore and salt marsh at Rye, East Sussex.
The effects of local sewage spills, the fishing industry and day trippers to the sea shore are evidenced. The images are made using multiple layers, both in-camera and using the digital darkroom. I photograph the objects that I find, and then collect them for disposal. Items found include waste from sewage plant discharges, ghost fishing gear ( discarded fishing line and rope), plastic cups, plastic cutlery, plastic bags, beach shoes and other picnic waste.
