THERE IS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WHAT WE SEE and WHAT WE ARE AWARE OF
The INTERTIDAL PROJECT studies how memory forms when a person is impacted by a place. The experience leaves an imprint upon them both. Each ensuing encounter etches a line of memory into a map of time like geological strata. Growing conscious of the depth of these memories can reveal the unfolding of time.
TIDAL BLOCK
Taking one landscape photograph of Wild Moor Point wasn’t compelling to me but the drastic expanse in the tidal levels was. The question arose, how can I express the magnitude of tidal change here all at once?
It took 2 years to find the answer and another 2 years to create the Tidal Block picture. Finally, my efforts unveiled a singular day that could never exist allowing me to see the cumulative memories of tidal strata simultaneously.

THE SUM OF THE PARTS
When the scope of Intertidal far exceeded my expectations, I felt compelled to craft a string map breaking down the entire project to encompass the spectrum and depth of the work. The interconnection between the pillars and components crystalized into a coherent vision.
The Project Elements - Imprints, Map Echoes, Tidal Block, Tidal Strata, Sand Strata, Sunset Strata, Twilight, and Traces – embody the thematic cornerstones of Intertidal - MEMORY, IMPRINT, MAPPING and STRATA.
Intertwining they all circumnavigate in harmony like the moon’s cycle around the earth instigating the tides.
