St Michaels Mount 1

St Michael's Mount is a teeny tiny island just off of the south coast of Cornwall, down in the right hand corner of the United Kingdom. Twice a day the tide goes out and you can walk over to the 'mount' and have a look round the castle, church and assorted tourist shops. When the tide's in you can take a boat, or a strange looking bus type thing with the wheels being on stilts..

It's obviously very similar to the French Mont Saint-Michel, but much smaller at only 57 acres.

An element I was very keen to capture with this joiner was the causeway/path over to the island, I felt it would be a good aid to draw the viewer into the main focal point of the joiner (being the mount itself).

Scouting out the right location to take the photos for this joiner involved a lot of walking until I was happy with my chosen position.

The Unseen collaborator

Every Joiner begins in silence, then finds its structure through its unseen collaborator—music. The tempo sets the pace of assembly; melodies suggest movement and balance. Music shapes the emotional architecture of each piece, guiding where energy builds and where calm returns. To truly experience a Joiner, it should be viewed while listening to the music that shaped it. Only then does the visual rhythm align with the heartbeat, the beat, it was born from.

Each Joiner is created but not yet printed.

This is intentional. Printing every piece in advance would compromise the freedom each collector deserves. By commissioning a Joiner at the moment of purchase, you decide its scale and presence—tailored precisely to your space and vision. Every print is then produced to museum-grade archival standards, ensuring permanence, precision, and exclusivity.
