Imagining Coastlines is an interdisciplinary research project involving walks along the future projected coastlines of East Anglia, exploring deep futures through art and science conversations.

​

The routes walked were based on predicted sea level rise over the next 100, 1000 and 10,000 years, along each we considered how long-term environmental processes, shifting geologies and coastal change may shape the region in the future.

​

The project took us across the North Norfolk Coast, the Norfolk Broads and the Cambridgeshire Fens. Working together as an artist and a scientist, we exchanged methods and observations, leading to the creation of Liquid Language, a large-scale textile installation composed of printed cotton banners suspended through the main concourse of the Sedgwick Museum of Earth Sciences.

​

The project culminated in a public event at the museum, where we shared our research and discussed the collaboration with visitors.
