Synopsis

’Elemental’ tells a pictorial story of the sea, and its power. In its first part how it effects the man-made objects placed within it, and secondly how it shapes our very planet at a natural erosion and shaping perspective. The images within this book are an effort to capture the essence of change, of making and remaking, of time and tide and the stories they leave behind. Each year the harbour residents watch the boats being winched out of the harbour to sit by the edge of the ocean during the wild winter months. I see the stories of time spent in the water. Each boat, so different in colour and size, left with a different pattern, telling a different tale of the ocean. The landscape changes with each tide of the ocean. North Cornwall’s coastline can be harsh and rugged, with ever changing patterns, colours, shapes and pathways. Each walk uncovers new treasure created by Mother Nature. Erosion peels back layers of Mother Natures story. The rocks, as they move with the ocean, share the ancient stories of their landscape, created over time

About this title

About the Author

Melanie Collie : "Most of my life I’ve lived by the sea. Growing up in Brighton, those summer holidays were spent playing on the pebbles, under the pier, running on the sand following the tide in and out. The sound of the sea, the seagulls crying out, the pebbles shifting all feel like home. When the beach is deserted at the start of the day or as it slows down ready for sleep, these are the special times for me. The light is a deep blue. The usual noise of the day non-existent. It’s a time I feel in awe of the vastness of existence, how small we are, how short a time we are here."
