This beautiful film from film maker Jess Pearson captures Merlyn Chesterman, print maker from Hartland, at work.
Merlyn says ‘The sea is of daily interest to me, whether I am in it or on it or watching it. To be in it marks the moment, now, between the past and the future. Nothing else matters. I swim most days. To be on it is a journey. And when I am looking, it is to try to begin to understand. And then I do what I do, make woodblock prints.’
