The sea breathes into the sky, the sky becomes the sea, the tides verge and leave me…

Lucy Lippard’s “The Lure of the Local” focuses on the sense of place, “…place has width as well as depth. It is about connections, what surrounds it, what formed it, what happened there, what will happen there.”

These words inspire me to express my connection to place in recent locales tied together in their proximity to water, tides and coastal phenomena. In the action and feeling of Ebb and Flow, from the coastal storms, heavy fog, and mysterious light of Sweden, to the backwaters and thick, warm air of India, to the constantly changing tidal plains, I am able to immerse myself in the movement, in the natural patterning of memory, and in my map of personal history.
