'These islands are connected to Guernsey, yet not. Their remoteness intrigues me and at times intimidates. An evening seascape serves as a reminder of those emergency hospital dashes, the cancellation of ships…it is at these times that the islands stand alone.'

'It is here, either returning from Sark, Herm or the mainland that I feel a great sense of being centred and that all shall be well. Navigation is essential here, as a port it becomes a fulcrum for our continued journeys, both physical and emotional.'

'I find the rocky outcrops at Perelle Bay to be a wonderful visual metaphor for our internal and external lives. Watching the tide cover and uncover the rocky shelves perfectly illustrates how one often doesn’t appreciate the hidden traumas of others and sometimes our own existences.'

'Renoir’s painted this scene in 1883 during a period of huge geo-political change. Charles Darwin had just died, leaving the church in turmoil and electrically based technology was becoming more widespread. In 2022, we continue to live during huge global shifts. It is stabilising to appreciate that our landscape remains mostly the same and can embrace us in times of turmoil.'
