This preliminary artwork deals with issues related to past changes to the geographical and coastal boundaries within the Mersey area. The raw slate material combined with the geographical context of this artwork unites the geological and environmental history of North Wales/Deeside with Merseyside.
These drawings/collages comprise a ‘coastline map’ that illustrates the former extended coastline and other lost features such as the ancient Mersey Lake and the Dee/Mersey coastline in the Roman period showing areas of built-up sediment and the presence of old river courses.
The ideas for the artworks involve selecting specific geographical areas that shows the past radically different coastline compared to the present day eroded and shrunken boundaries. Thus as well as documenting the evolution of a coastline, the artwork further functions as a warning that we could witness increased flooding, severe storms and the potential loss of land, seaside towns and cities to the encroaching sea.
