There is a wall of shale just within the high tide line, a place where I find a favourite place to sit near the lifeboat station at Crooklets Beach.
This is that place. These are those rocks.
Metamorphosis is a triptych born from a single spot on the North Cornwall coast - a precise point on the earth recorded as ///fury.fluffed.bonnet on what3words. A wall of ancient Bude Formation shale, sitting just within the high tide line near the lifeboat station at Crooklets Beach, Bude. A place worn by 300 million years of tide, pressure and time into something that looks, if you sit with it long enough, like it is still becoming.
Across three panels, the composition moves as one unified landscape. Above, a deep midnight sky blazes with amber and gold - lichen fire on ancient rock face, catching the last of the autumn light. Through the middle, the shale fragments and fractures into the intricate geometry of the Bude Formation - jointed, faulted, tessellated by millennia into shapes that feel almost architectural. Below, the wave-cut platform curves and flows, water over stone, tide over time.
The title is exact. This rock has been transforming since the Carboniferous period. It is transforming still. So is everything that looks at it long enough.
