Coastal Retreats – Damien Wootten
In 2006, Damien Wootten began to take photographs, using colour film, along the coastline of the north east. It is an area that he had previously photographed in black & white during the late 1980’s and early 1990’s – inspired by the work of the British landscape photographer Raymond Moore.
Over the past 7 years Wootten has revisited and re-photographed very specific locations on this coast. The majority of the images that make up this exhibition were taken in and around Newbiggin-by-the-Sea, which lies about a mile away from Woodhorn Museum.
Most repeatedly, he has photographed at Church Point car park, then taken the path
heading north around the headland and along the edge of the caravan park to the beach. This is a short walk that he has made several hundred times.
Supported by Arts Council England through Grants for the arts.
