And So I Watch You From Afar, Concertina is a 70-page cyanotype artist book that unfolds to 30 x 735 cm. Made through a climate-adapted 19th-century iron-based photographic process, it invites sunlight, polluted seawater, acidic rain, salt and weather to act directly on the page. The work unfolds like a shifting coastline, evoking erosion, rising seas and ecological vulnerability, while asking how analogue photography can register a world already altered by human hands.
