This is actually some sort of a pair for the Swimmers piece I made earlier this year as they feature two halves of the same photo. Otherwise they have a fairly different mood, or at least to me they have. I'm quite drawn to old photos of the sea as well as to found poetry about the old sea. I can't even swim myself, and I've never spent much time by the sea (just lakes, and they're a completely different thing), so maybe the sea is just something so exotic and symbolic it tickles my imagination and creativity.
It's been raining so much it feels like I see everything through a foggy lense now. Very tired, muscles aching from all the bookmaking. Somehow I keep forgetting a lot but nothing specific.
