The Water’s Edge
My Water’s Edge project takes me on a journey from river sources, ponds and lakes to estuaries and the sea.
I notice in small details how seasons, geology, slope and tidal ebb and flow, create patterns in micro that often mirror the macro of major rivers, lakes and sea shores and how the water effects structures in its path.
Inspired by the writing of Henry David Thoreau and Rachel Carson to love the beauty of small spaces; I have been fortunate to visit Thoreau’s Walden Pond and Carson’s Sea Shore in Massachussetts and Maine.
Beauty in miniature.
