Estuary-Scapes

Living in an estuary village in West Wales, Sarah has inevitably been influenced by her daily walks and life in the locality. The impressions on the coast marked by the tide, winds, objects and creatures on the sands, are unique and transient; the sands are like a tabla rasa being erased twice a lunar day by the tides which come racing in and out, the force of the moon over a spinning earth. Carmarthen Bay, being part of the Bristol Channel tidal range, the second highest in the world, has particularly dramatic ecotide.

Sarah ran a symposium and estuary walk during a two day event as part of CROFT LAB, a Space Place Practice residency at The Laundrette Studio in Bristol.

This involved a gathering of artists/academic on a River Severn estuary walk followed by a Symposium the following day titled Estuary- scapes with the invited speakers presenting their work in response to estuaries.

Sarah will be running another symposium on River/Estuary early in 2025 as part of Spike Island Associates’ program.
