Low Tide No. 12 Painting

Oil, acrylic, ink and mixed media collage on cradled wood panel. This piece is a fusion of painting, drawing and collage. It is part of my “Low Tide” series. This series asks the question– what if we were all gone, but our possessions remained? Perhaps they would wind up washing ashore at low tide, with birds foraging them. Who remembers us then, and how? Does it matter? Of course it does. The poetics of our memory weave us all together as human, even when our experiences are very different from one another. All of our possessions and all our memories become part of the perpetual cycle of life found throughout nature. No where is this more evident than near the shore- in tide pools, along beaches, and other natural water ecosystems where decay and regeneration occur so vividly. Signed on back. Ships wired and ready to hang unframed, with framing recommendations included. Buyer may choose to frame it on their own if desired.
