| Summary |
The focus of Saltwater People - Sydney's Southern Beaches is on the shoreline - that high energy intersection between sea and land where waves, whipped-up by wind and storms, sometimes thousands of kilometers out to sea, announce their arrival in a final dramatic explosion, or caress it with a gentle cascade. This constant, hypnotic dance with the shore can be calming, and it can be confronting. When the swell appears excitement grows and the coastline becomes energized. The surfzone both attracts and influences us - and in turn our presence affects this playground on the edge of the vast Pacific. It is not just surfers that are attracted to this zone. Sydney's magnificent beaches have produced some truly unique individuals and some incredible stories. They are home of the world's most recognized painters, potters, writers, poets, photographers, film-makers, musicians and architects. Saltwater People - Sydney's Southern Beaches pays homage to those remarkable people who have made this coastline home. |
