"The Secret Life Of Objects"





This peice of Limestone rock was found on Filey beach. I was attracted to it because of it's texture and layereing qualities. Limestone rock is made up of layers of sediment, small plant and animal forms cemented together over thousands of years. As well as the stones aestheics I began to reflect on why we search and collect on the beach. We all have instincts to collect and hoard, searching the beach creates a kind of challenge to find something mystical, precious, beautiful and special. Subverting this analogy I will use this limestone to symbolise how "precious" my childhood was, through the media of film.
