In 1990 Helen <\/span>Goodwin\u2019s cliff-top cottage in Skipsea, East Yorkshire was swept into the sea. The experience, she says, <\/span>made her “keenly aware of how communities are forced to resettle and share a sense of impermanence of place; how the earth is forever re-forming and moving, and yet there seems to be an invisible thread that appears to connect us to \u2018fixed place\u2019 through the stories and memories we weave into localities.” B<\/span>efore the cottage disappeared, Goodwin removed a wooden<\/span> chair; and this <\/span>piece of furniture has moved with her as she migrated down the coast to Hull and then to Brighton<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Today the artist launches a photographic project charting the marginal landscapes that are under threat of erosion from the North Sea. Originally conceived with the participation of <\/span>local coastal <\/span>communities, the making of Impermanent Edge<\/em> was interrupted by the Covid-19 pandemic. The project has now been <\/span>transformed into a virtual tour with the help of <\/span>eight galleries on the east and south coasts of England. <\/span>Goodwin says: \u201cIn mid March, during my last site visit, a perfect environment offered itself for me to make new and unexpected work in response to the forceful winds, low tide and wide expansive beach. I made work, met with the lovely locals collecting some of their stories and managed to only just return home days before lockdown\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

From Tuesday 4 August 2020, the participating organisations will display one of Goodwin’s photographs on their website. Each image will then be taken down in sequence. “<\/span>This disappearance,” says Goodwin, “progressively disrupts the online tour, just as the coastal edge vanishes into impermanent memory, occasionally attempted to be retained in written and visual record.”
