A. Williams chooses sensitivities out of the wilds of Suffolk; here the anomalies are self-evident, as read below the subject is a consuming 
interest as part of history of outdoors challenging our very place in our environment. The innate covering of details, or clues suggests 
an enquiring mind.

A. Williams speculates on the natural landings of objects apparently placed on the beach by the tide of the sea. The drawn out abstraction 
of broken debris appropriately half dead and thus half alive, appears placed in an alien environment, which apparently would be misplaced 
and washed away as quickly as it arrived. The disposable nature of the beaches' belongings is a sure indicator of our times where industrial 
implements are built with the short term use in mind. The eroding cliffs of Covehithe, Suffolk are here a temperate reminder of how nature 
re-shapes its environment, indeed the swish of the waves well illustrates the wilds of nature calling in its cards.
