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 atmosphere in the sky above well illustrates the wilds of 
nature calling in its cards.
