GUERNSEY BAILIWICK 2016-2018

“They were used to search, to rummage, to spy out hidden things. They were in the habit of peeping into holes; why not into this hole? Hunting is exciting. Looking into birds’ nests perhaps gives an itch for looking a little into a nest of ghosts. A rummage in the dark regions. Why not?”
Victor Hugo, Les Déniquoiseaux (The Birds’ Nesters), Toilers of the Sea.

“I want to walk the same trails repeatedly along the coast, to get to know every rock, every tree, every root, I want to know where the wind blows, to see the light piercing at dawn or going down at night, I want to immerse myself in the water to discover what lies beneath, how the wave is crashing, what it means to be on an island, I want to make the island a familiar place, to exhaust the landscape.”
Grégoire Eloy
