Harbours are fascinating places.
Bosham, once a busy port has a rich history: the
Romans, Canute, Harold….
No longer of such importance it remains
a place for comings and goings.
Boats, mostly small. Mostly pleasure.
Buoyed, tied, high and dry, hauled up
waiting……..
Waiting for tide, wind, weather…..
Waiting for excitement, adventure, the
unknown……..
Arrivals dock, anchor, tether.…
Fresh eyes, new perspectives.
For the theme ‘The Space Between’ Isabel has incorporated newsprint into Bosham-inspired
seascapes to explore our relationship between dissonance and quiet, manmade and nature, hopes and dreams.
