Dave Green is a photographic artist based in Bideford, North Devon. His latest work, Graveyard of the Atlantic, was seen at the Real Food Store for the first time in England, previously it was shown earlier in the year at the North Carolina Aquarium on Roanoke Island USA. These images were grown out of seven years exploration, study and immersion in the coast of North Devon. It is a hidden coast found only through a vertiginous climb down a cliff path or by leaving the sandy beach and trekking over seaweed strewn boulders at low tide. It is a wild coast, unpopulated by holiday-makers, the domain of seagulls that can make you feel quite unwelcome. It is also an historic coast where the rhythms and cycles of millions of years can be seen in the layers of strata of an eroded cliff face and the more recent past can be found in smooth rusting ship parts, in memorial of hundreds of wrecks, littering the rocky shore.
