The Intertidal Project delves into the concept that there’s a difference between what we see and what we are aware of. The work records the moments of impact when a person, time, and place intersect leaving an indelible imprint upon them both. With each recurring instance new layers of memory are forged like geological strata. By growing conscious of these cumulative memories, we can reveal the unfolding of time.

I became obsessed with the desire to unmask the rocks beneath the water when the tide crested ones I stood upon. Beholding years of shared strata at once I decided to form a map of time itself. Gradually I amassed over 11,000 photographs over four years as the bond between me and Wild Moor Point was laid bare. Finally, by crafting hundreds of curated images into one outlined picture I manifested the mercurial color of time. The breath of ebbing and flowing tides has changed the landscape, and through it I have changed too. The Tidal Block print now defines us both as I’ve realized my original goal to share the full experience of a pivotal time and place through the intersecting strata of our interdependent memories.
