Weathered Concrete Steps #1463 concentrates on one of the least spectacular but most enduring elements of Newcastle Ocean Baths. These steps have been worn by weather, water and generations of swimmers. Their surfaces carry no written history, yet their marks suggest countless arrivals and departures—children learning to swim, families returning, bodies ageing. The photograph treats this ordinary architecture as something closer to an archive: memory embedded in concrete.
This Limited Edition is available in three sizes, with a maximum of five prints plus up to two Artist Proofs.
