Benjamin Green

 Ever Falling Towards the Sea is an new commission by Benjamin Green and Gabriella Rhodes, which was exhibited as part of the Coed Coexist show at Plas Gwynn Y Weddw, Llanbedrog in 2026. The work explores the changing ecological features of the landscape and the material narratives of place.

Over the summer of 2024, Benjamin undertook a research residency on Pen Llŷn where Gabriella is based exploring the use of analogue image-making processes to document the typographical features of the landscape from deposits of clay in the cliffs to sites of material history like brickworks and disused mines. In response to this work, Gabriella gathered clays from the same sites to create sculptural objects that abstractly interpret the landscape—from cloud formations to undulating hills and the meeting of water and stone. The project culminated in a series of installations where Benjamin’s analogue moving image work is projected onto, and looped around, Gabriella’s sculptures, creating a conversation between practices and two distinct responses to place.

Presented here are a series of images created during the residency, and exhibited as part of the exhibition, as well as a film documenting the show. The images were shot on medium format film and developed using gathered seaweed in a natural process.
