The intertidal zone is where sea meets land between low and high tide. Within the fluid boundaries of this dynamic space, I create and document gentle, low-impact interventions that embrace the vicissitudes of time, tide, and island ecology.
My practice is rooted among the islands around Skagit Bay near our cabin on Swinomish land. Here a mixed semi-diurnal tidal cycle exposes a vast mudflat during low tide and pummels the banks during high. As the tide recedes, wrack lines provide material for my imagination, as well as insights into the local ecosystem.
May these intertidal creations invite you down to earth, remembering as Donna Haraway wrote, I am a creature of the mud, not the sky.
