Into the Zone poster. The exhibition’s title refers to the hugely influential film Stalker (Dir. Andrei Tarkovsky 1979, USSR), which was released in the UK 45 years ago. The film features a mysterious, guarded Zone, an edgeland where nothing is quite what it seems, and follows a guide and two clients as they enter and try to navigate the Zone.
Limehouse Reach, London, December 2021. Dark stakes and seaworn poles emerge from a foreshore covered in rubble. In the distance, the skyscrapers of Docklands catch the light.
Shornemead Lighthouse, Kent, November 2020. A red and white lighthouse emerges from shallow, calm water. The foreground is glistening mud. In the distance, across the river, is a distant, vegetated bank.
Each exhibitor brings their own perspective of the Thames Estuary, creating a collective vision of this local yet remote landscape.
With Anna Kroeger, Anna Lukala, Arbonauts, David George, Gerolamo Gnecchi & Sylak Ravenspine, Mark Taylor, Michael Upton (curator) & Mike Seaborne.

It started as a simple idea: I wanted to talk to the directors of TESTAMENT, THE DAY AFTER and THREADS on the impact their nuclear-war films have had on the world 40 years later. For the Los Angeles Times, I heard their stories and how fearful they remain. www.latimes.com/entertainmen...

Morning and evening.

Tree stumps on a sandy beach
Ghosts of trees. There are lots of interesting tree remains at Covehithe, where the land is crumbling into the sea. Some making defiant last stands. I'll probably post images of those but I was more taken, in a way , with the vestiges of stumps that were hardly there at all.
The heads of victorian women and children in hats peeping from underneath a pile of hay.
This image from the walls of Dunwich Museum has stayed with me.
Last year, for the centenary of Benjamin Christensen's Häxan, I took one of my old lino cuts and made a new and improved (?) version. I'm currently working on a new run of prints that will be available in the shop soOoOon...

Hello bsky.app people , sending my first post ( are they called skeets?) quickly so I don't overthink it. Backstage at a shopping centre. My kind of start to the day. How about yours?
small boats moored in the shallow estuary water at Wrabness in Essex. Summer. Blue sky. Puffy clouds.
Here's a restful and cheery soundscape to start your weekend. 🎧
Episode 75 - Bobbing boats on the estuary at Wrabness
Sit under a tree on the footpath on the beach. Hear the water and masts of boats tinkling in the breeze.
