Between the Tide seeks to capture the evocative moment of pause that occurs when the tide stands still - in between retreating and returning. In that fleeting interval the shoreline and tide ppols reveal what is left behind: a delicate microcosm teeming with treasures and biodiversity.

Holding Space, 2025
handpainted silk, silver leaf, embroidery floss, machine embroidery 4" h x 3.5" w x 3.5" h (10.1 x 8.9 x 8.9 cm)
