23.6x23.6 in ~ Painting, Acrylic, Ink, Watercolor, Embroidery
The intertidal zone is almost like a secret place. The environment is hazardous and in constant change through the movement of waves. On the rocky platforms that are exposed tell this story of transformations. the eroded marks, the stones, shells, any residue left behind has a compelling history through its passage of time. This embroidered painting is an example of the stunning marine life that can be stranded but survive or move elsewhere to relocate by other means than the waves.
I find the traces so fascinating and this has a marked effect of showing how resilient nature is and its inherent forces to adapt or let it be.
The composition reflects the watery world that is at risk to all other elements, including other marine life or man.
