Composed of cottons, upholstery fabrics, sheers, inkjet prints of photos I took. Made by monoprinting, texture rubbing, free-motion machine stitiching, hand embroidery.

I feel the sea foam rising between my toes as I walk in the space where the sand is firm and cool and the water barely reaches. While small creatures move about, I watch the patterns of ripples and bubbles they create in the water. I pause to bend down and marvel at the shapes of the remnants of shells scattered on the sand. As the grasses wave backward and forward in the sea breeze, I hear the call of the shore birds. The glorious sun hangs high in the sky dancing in and out of the clouds.

These are things that can be experienced on a beach walk. To capture its essence I used sheer and shiny fabrics is some places to represent the sun reflecting off the thin film of water and rougher fabrics to represent the sand.

The artwork is fused to a felt backing. It has a flat, aluminum slat attached to top of the back with wire running through it, ready to hang.

Presently on exhibit at Northwest Square in DeLand.
