INTERPLANETARY ECOLOGY

The work explores species living in intertidal zones off the coast of the UK and their relationship with humans. The strandline, where the land meets the sea, is a place of constant change, adaption and resilience. The work is inspired by Rachel Carson’s book The Edge of the Sea (1955).
