Sandlings
Caroline Brown studied fine art photography at Central Saint Martins and undertook photographic research at the LCC. Her practice deals with the forces of human kind and nature, and how they shape the landscape.
Sandlings shows a place haunted by tidal erosion and dark secrets. This work was made in the low-lying coastal wetlands of East Suffolk. It uses the medieval concept of Landschaft, a collection of dwellings and cultivated land surrounded by an unknown, and unknowable, wilderness.
The history of Suffolk is full of tales of death and destruction and the struggle to survive. This real place exudes the presence of the past, it is a place that remembers events. Sandlings looks at something withheld, or half-hidden, within the coastal edgelands of Suffolk.
