The DNA of Cornwall lives in the ancient cliffs, transformed and renewed by the battering waves.

Shaped by the Sea is two panels and one truth - that everything on this coastline is in the process of becoming something else. The cliff face fractures. The boulder rounds. The fault line shifts. The tide returns. At ///fatigued.petal.awaited, on the ancient Bude Formation coast of North Cornwall, this is what the rock looks like when you sit close enough and long enough to really see it.

Across two panels, the composition reads as a single cliff face caught in quiet transformation. The left panel maps the language of compressed strata - diagonal fault lines, tessellated stone, the geometry of pressure accumulated over, some say, 300 million years. The right panel opens into something rounder, softer - cobble forms and boulder shapes emerging from the fracture, smoothed by millennia of Atlantic tide. Together they tell the complete story: the rock that breaks, and the rock that survives.

The palette is the grey Atlantic morning. Sage green, warm stone, dusty mauve, deep charcoal, luminous cream. No drama. Just deep time, made visible.

This is the fingerprint of a location. This is the DNA of Cornwall.
