Compartment Syndrome | Artist’s Edition

For the Artist's Edition of Compartment Syndrome, books were cast into Pegwell Bay, the project’s location. Immersed in local seawater, the typography and photography degraded to mimic the erosion of time. Photos from a Kent coast village, taken before and during the EU Referendum, explore the elusive characteristics of Englishness. This edition examines the fracture resulting from the vote and meditates on the village as a symbol of both freedom and restriction.
