The Sea Pool, a winter haven
The Sea Pool, a liminal space between land and sea, a transitional space between tides, a place where humanity connects with nature, a place shaped by human activity. Where the going in and the coming out of its swimmers resonates with the ebb and flow of its tidal rhythm. ‘A Winter haven’ investigates the spatial, physical, sensory, social, and emotional relationships between Bude Sea Pool’s community sustaining itself through the winter months. Its swimmers undertake their individual winter challenges with water temperatures that fell to 3.7℃, and the charity volunteers, out every morning in all weathers and conditions, clearing tidal debris to ensure the safety of swimmers. They are my subjects, participants, and audience.
