These works, regularly exhibited across Scotland, transform details of boat hulls in dry dock into poetic and evocative landscapes. At a glance they appear as sweeping seascapes or coastal scenes, yet they are in fact fragments of paint, rust and repair – abstract surfaces mainly reimagined as lyrical visions of the sea. Paul sees his photography as a form of printmaking, closer in spirit to screen printing, lithography, or etching than to traditional documentary photography. He develops each digital image in his studio, ensuring archival quality on fine artists’ papers using pigment inks. The resulting prints carry both the truth of their subject and the atmosphere of a painting, inviting viewers to project their own memories and experiences into the image. The Hullscapes embody a sense of wabi-sabi: beauty found in imperfection, weathering, and repair. They reflect the idea that objects carry the imprint of their environment—the sea leaving its mark on each vessel. Paul’s goal is not to document the boats themselves, but to reveal their surfaces as landscapes of imagination, mood and resonance.
