LOWTIDE 2005 Mixed Media Glass and Wood 4’X 22” X 3/4 Contact Artist Featuring 25 Shades of Authentic Sea Glass . On Display at The National Gallery of The Bahamas
On what seemed like normal weather conditions, the tides did something very special the year I made this piece. It had pushed all this incredible glass seen in this piece into a loose pile near the shore of one of my favorite spots. As a result something extremely rare happened for me as collector and artist ; I acquired all of the glass for a piece in one swoop. I thought I had won the lottery, scooping up as much as I could until the tide started to creep up. My husband estimated that we carried at least fifty pounds of glass back on the 1/4 mile trek back to the boat. I reluctantly left the beach that day reassuring myself that I could always come back. I did return many times, like a pirate looking for lost treasure, but have never experienced such a phenomenon since. |
