Description
The beaches of my youth, in the Finger Lakes of New York were shale, hard, sharp. fossil filled rockiness. The cliffs of the Ithaca gorges were always shedding fresh sheets of sedimentary rocks. On Lake Superior, the rocks are harder, older, rounded and polished by the wildness of the inland sea. Driftwood is battered, skinned of its bark by the abrasive action of the waves against the granite and taconite pebbles. It is a primordial beach: my favorite kind. I have always found these environments inspiring.
So, is it any surprise that this environment begins to engage with my work? The new work series, Seed Pods, was born on this pebble beach.
Sculpture: Fabric on Soft (Yarn, Cotton, Fabric), Wood.
