Tidal Flats

Acrylic, plaster, fabric on canvas.

20x20x1.50"

Tidal Flats captures the quiet rhythm of a shoreline shaped by the continual movement of water and time. The textured plaster creates a tactile landscape, suggesting sediment deposits, weathered rock formations, and the organic marks left behind by nature’s constant transformation.

Rather than depicting a specific location, the work invites viewers to experience the essence of coastal wetland, places that exist in a state of perpetual transition between land and sea. The horizontal bands create a sense of calm and expansive space, while the richly textured passages hint at hidden currents and the subtle energy beneath still waters.

Created through an intuitive process of layering, scraping, and revealing, Tidal Flats reflects an exploration of natural forces and the beauty found in impermanence. The work celebrates the delicate balance between structure and fluidity, where each mark becomes a record of movement, erosion, and renewal.
