Tidal Journals are found sculptural pieces gifted by tides and rivers, gathered by boat, kayak or on foot. Eventually, they arrive in the studio, where they may live for many years, slowly gravitating towards partners, accumulating marks, gestures and colour. When they leave, their journey continues quietly and unannounced.
