Drawing with Phyllida in the studio. #phyllidabarlow #charcoalsrawings #brewertyartwalk

Back in the studio. Working on number 5 of the 3ftx2ft charcoal drawings. Series, Turmoil speaks from my subconscious touching on the precarious situation we find ourselves. Balance, tipping points, mark making, #martincoxstudio

Lost at sea, Eli Johnson (I), charcoal drawing, daily drawing

Charcoal sea, charcoal sky. Shipping forecast. My uncle and great grandfather were both sailors and it kind of rubbed off. My uncle came back from his time at sea with an enormous collection of photographs of vessels. #charcoaldrawing #britishsailors

Some days are rougher than others. #dailydrawing #charcoaldrawing #martincoxstudio Growing up in British port had it’s advantages

Storm at sea, 🌊 daily sketches. #charcoaldrawing #martincoxstudio I’m clearly influenced by the 19th century maritime art surrounding me growing up on the Uk coast and absorbing it in to contemporary works in a variety of media.

Daily drawing cures most ailments. I restarted at the end of May. #dailydrawing #charcoaldrawing #sktechpad #martincoxstudio

I am happy to announce that I have two photographs in the Dutch publication ARTDOC photography Magazine in their newest issue The Meditative Lens out now. (The image on their link is not mine)

That summer I got to return to the scene. I exhibited images from Terra Figmenta in The Fish Factory in Djupavik Iceland curated by Emilie Dalum. The factory long abandoned, complete with wrecked ship outside was a startling and evocative to show work. #iceland #djupavik #contemporaryphotography

From series, Terra Figmenta, 12x12" #martincoxstudio shot on film using dodgy Diana camera with TriX film. Tide is out in the fjord but water is everywhere. #dianacamera #landscapephotography #contemporaryphotography

Installation by #MartinCoxStudio Curated by Emilie Mørkeberg Dalum. The Factory, Djupavik, West Fjords, Iceland. "Velocity of decline", I placed my landscapes within the context of some serious erosion, I sought decline in the prints over the span of the show, the gallery was open to the elements
