At Dixon Park Beach, distant swell moves towards shallower water until each line begins to rise, break and disappear. During the extended exposure those separate moments overlap, turning the sea into bands of blue, white and dark green.
There is still a horizon and there are still waves, but description is beginning to give way to rhythm.
I am interested in that threshold—when a familiar landscape stops telling us precisely what it is and becomes something closer to memory, movement or feeling.
The waves have travelled a long way to reach the shore.
Here their journey becomes a series of lines.
