INTERTIDAL ZONE
For several years I have been quietly getting to know the tiny beach in front of my studio, but during the strange time of Coronavirus lockdowns it has become my all-encompassing muse. I sit, walk, touch, listen, smell, and breath the shoreline. I have become even more keenly aware of the coming and going of the tide, and the conditions and species that exist within this small area.
The work in this collection represents a journey of discovery into those tenuous and tentative relationships that are ongoing in the intertidal zone. They are, of course, a metaphor for life itself, as they reflect on interconnection, resilience, adaptability, change, accommodation, symbiosis, etc. etc. …
The process involves the layering and collaging of image transfers from my photos of the shoreline, with watercolour, and acrylic paint. Built up intuitively, the surfaces are weathered, eroded, and transformed like the shoreline itself, after a retreating tide.
The prices of these works vary between £200 and £500. Please contact me for details.
