about

Looking out across the still waters of Iken Cliff in Suffolk there's barely a sound to hear. The somnambulant waters of the river Alde gently lap at the sand-speckled river shore.

A couple of hundred metres away, just above the horizon of a softly swaying reed bed, Avocets drift towards an unknown destination. The ancient edifice of Iken church stands guard over a twist in the river. If you follow the gentle ribbon of the waterway beyond the church you'll find yourself first in historic Aldeburgh, then you'll drift by the Norman castle at Orford, before finding yourself at the mercy of the uncaring North Sea.

A barely perceptible movement of soft brown on the far shore draws your eye. You hold your breath and stand as still as possible, so as not to break this scene that nature performs for you. It's a Godwit, a small, leggy, long-beaked bird, idly foraging in the sandy mud and shallow waters-edge.

High overhead the muffled roar of a passenger jet passes above the sparse clouds in this huge Suffolk sky. The Godwit is untroubled by this intrusion of modernity. Reassurance that despite the mechanical distractions, diversions, and obsessions of mankind, nature finds a way to endure.

You slowly lower yourself to the riverbank, sitting between two tufts of pale green ferns. This is your time, you have nowhere to be, nothing required of you. It's time to find the peace you seek. Press play, this is 'Exhotale'.
