the other coastline : masters of arts practice (drawing and illustration)

The other coastline is not based on any narrative, it is a series of ideas relating to a fantasy environment; this environment is largely akin to ours, the components that form it are the same, flotsam, jetsam, flora and fauna, it is the fusion of these elements to create new species that separates it. Many of these creatures couldn’t be successful outside their fantasy world, but portraying them realistically in pencil images helps to transform them from fantastical ideas into believable, if not possible life forms. These new creatures are the environment of the other coastline, not an added element but an organic form of recycling that encourages the survival of an environment, which despite its differences from what we find acceptable in our environment, is believable.
