Salt: See: Hare is a poignant two-screen video installation created in response to the tragic decline of marsh hares following the 2014 storm surges along England's east coast. Taking this event as its starting point, Salt: See: Hare mourns the individual lives lost during this time while expressing despair regarding the larger and more pressing themes of climate change and species loss. Traditionally hares are portrayed in dynamic poses, such as ‘boxing’ or 'running' often symbolising fertility and virility; the continuous renewal of life itself. However, this installation takes a different approach, opting for a more subdued and intimate portrayal of hares that highlights their inherent vulnerability. As part of the experience, viewers are invited to engage with each hare for an 'uncut' ten-minute period, during which they can observe the hares as they sleep, stretch, or preen. The video is projected onto salt blocks, creating a striking visual effect, enhanced further by a water feature that pours 'rain' across each screen. As the salt screens dissolve, the video continues to loop so that the imagery of the hares remains ever-present. This juxtaposition of virtual time with material time calls to attention the phenomena of entropy which is so often imperceptible in a culture where the image persists. By offering the viewer the opportunity to observe hares in this unique way, it is hoped that a more immediate and intimate sense of animal death and environmental change will be felt.  ​​
