‘Red is the most joyful and dreadful thing in the physical universe; it is the fiercest note. It is the highest light. It is the place where the walls of this world of ours wear the thinnest and something beyond burns through.’
G.K. Chesterton, 1910

Red Creek is a project of entanglements: ecological, temporal, material, imaginary. Flooded daily by the sea, the Creek has a complex ever-changing ecosystem...Life and death continually fold into each other and metamorphosize. It is rare to encounter other visitors and walkers in the valley, even in the summer months. The entangled trees muffle the close presence of contemporary living and, for a brief moment, it is possible to fantasize the creek as a place of primal wilderness. This illusion is always broken, continually rippled by historical traces of human activity, consumption and its wastes.
