On the shores by St Monans and Pittenweem there are 2 old outdoor swimming pools that are filled as the tide comes in. Neither are now maintained by the local council as they had been in the past. I think I may have become a bit obsessed with them, made even more interesting by their crumbling structures, part way between man and the sea. A place for people, taken back by nature.

Art, chips and sunshine.
Everything has been really busy lately so I thought it was time to take a wee break and head to the coast...but where to go? Why Pittenweem of course!
I spent 10 days working at the Pittenweem Arts Festival which hosted a fantastic mix of both resident and invited artists.
My favourite piece of the festival. Sculpture by Kaneyuki Shimoosako, installed on the old harbour wall.
