Artist notes: It was warm and a misty summer west coast rain had settled in with the in coming tide. Seaweed gathered on the tide line and was rolled around driftwood. This is my inspiration for stretching and investigating a continuum between figurative and abstract mark making. Close up there are only loosely made marks. Yet at a distance, it almost but not quite sorts itself out, leaving plenty of room for viewer engagement if they wish.
