Tidespiral

This land art project was made in August of 2007 at the beach in front of my parents place in Fernwood, PEI on the Northumberland Strait. I have not shown this work before this as I wanted to present it in a way that illustrated the ephemeral, transitional nature of this piece.

Watching something I spent time gathering elements and creating being slowly consumed by the tide was a very much a spiritual experience for me. I did not see this as destruction but rather a transformation and a re-integration back to the sea and sand.



For the music, I layered portions of 3 pieces from the Touch the Sound Soundtrack.  a wonderful film btw

Transition

These two images were made back in 2005 during a family vacation in PEI.  Inspired by the art of Andy Goldsworthy, I created this piece on the beach at Ross Lane.  Made the next morning, the second photo reveals the tide's transformation.

I have a few other land art pieces in my archives that I will present in future posts.
