Louise Faulkner, The Baths (SINGLE SHOT 2021)

This image of Newcastle Ocean Baths reflects our Novocastrian identity; we are draped in green and blue. Our proud and defiant steel blue collar harbour history. The aquamarine waters off our gem-like beaches. The endless depth of our cerulean skies. The Newie coast is a place of grounding for me too, my melancholy and anxiety quelled in cyan waters, and on my walks, the east coast sky an endless source of cloud-based inspiration beyond the blue.
