Nature's Wabi Sabi - The Cliffs of East Yorkshire

If you have seen my recent blog post about the V&A Museum Dundee, you would have read how the Cliffs on the Scottish coastline, inspired the the Japanese Architect Kengo Kuma with his design process.  Although very different in nature, the cliffs on the East Coast of Yorkshire are an interesting sight...and a great place to visit.

I feel that these white chalk cliffs at Danes Dyke near Sewerby, that tower up to 100 meters above sea level, are another reminder of the beauty in natures imperfection, the cracks, the lines, the irregular shapes are just so full of texture and interest...​
On the nearby North shore beach at Bridlington, you'll find pebbles shaped and formed by the sea - all smooth soft edges, with soft neutral colour, and delicate texture of the chalky stone, they create such wonderful patterns on the ground.

Above are some ideas from my sketchbook, there are some elements that I feel work, and others that clearly don't...it's still very much a work in progress!  I'll let you know if it develops into something...

Studio playlist - I'm Going Home a collaboration between the Rock Blues Joe Bonamassa and Singer Songwriter Marc Broussard, I chose this as each time I go to the East Coast of Yorkshire, it always feels like going home...Enjoy!
