I am concerned with making things visible that are not normally seen by the human eye such as minerals found in Cornish spring water and geothermal waters from Bath and Iceland. To pin down and reframe these elusive substances, I record field sounds, use long exposure photography and collect samples of waters and rock. This exploration is my attempt to capture what I have named the quest for fugitive essence.
