The final piece in this series was approximately 18 m long, and made from clear twine, with unbleached cotton, ripped up from some of the previous projects.



When I threw the Fabric length into the water, it immediately became tangled and chaotic.


I found this particularly appropriate, as it resembled discarded fishing line, creating an unintended, but meaningful connection to pollution, and the impact of human activity, within the natural environment.





The more I attempted to straighten and organise the material, the more tangled it became, reinforcing these constant thoughts of losing control, and the difficulty of trying to impose order on something that responds only to the natural environment.



I finally managed to fly the drone after so many unsuccessful attempts due to the weather constraints. These shots give a vista of the open water.







The resulting photographs were successful in capturing both my shadow across the water, and the work itself, within the liminal space between Above and Below ,this was precisely what I had hoped to explore, the meeting point between my physical presence, the material, and the water where the boundaries between them became uncertain.






This work brought my exploration of the liminal space into sharper focus by combining the unpredictable behaviour of the material, with the ambiguity of the photographic image. It brought together many of the ideas that have informed Above and Below, while allowing the water itself to influence and shape the final outcome.
