IMMERSED 2021

A project about cold water swimming and wellbeing, looking at the benefits of facing risk and vulnerability each day through immersion in the sea. I aim to connect the shared experience of swimming to the creative process, by swimming with, photographing, painting and recording conversations with at least 66 sea swimmers, from quick dippers to channel swimmers. Collectively what unites us? Creatively how can art bring people together? This is a research project at this stage with a view to developing ideas for a larger project/exhibition in the future.
