The power of colour to evoke emotion is at the heart of this work.  A collection of mid winter dawn sky images at Middleton Beach provides the backdrop to my shared ritual stretching over decades. Using a light-box (thanks to Neil Howitt) accentuates the colour.
The early morning swim is a constant in our lives, as we experience and support each other through the gamut of ‘life’s rich tapestry’.
 
The swimmers blended into the morning sea mist convey a feeling of being in and affected by this place, aptly named Binalup by the Minang people, meaning ‘place of first light’.
