The Ocean Retreats
The seaside is one of the most dynamic, living landscapes on Earth. Growing up by the ocean, the relationship between the sea and the land is foundational to how I see the world. It's incredible to witness how the earth, which underfoot seems so solid, is worn away by the relentless motion of the sea. And then the sea, in turn, is changed by the color and activity of the sky. I love how the patterns present in the seascape exist in an ever-changing state that includes both structure and fluidity. The invitation in this body of work is to be present to the hidden reality of the seashore, where things once considered separate reveal themselves as an interdependent and merged world. This is the world in which we belong, one in which we ourselves are an intimate part.
