Artist notes: Seaweed, clam, mussel and crab shells are left behind along the shore while a slack tide fails to grasp them back into the summer Salish Sea. Maybe the next tide will carry this tumbled, tangle bits sea debris away and back out to where the sandstone caps of the reef appear to bob on the still surface. I could wait for them to disappear completely into the briny depths but that too may not happen on this specific tide. Mapping in shapes of colour to support more detailed forms plays on my imaginary keys between figurative and abstract mark making, possibly completing a longer stanza than I have usually been able to manage.
