This body of work focuses on two types of patterns: those found in the local coastline, and those of handwritten letters. They layer together creating a visual abstraction.
Using the meditative rhythms, repetition, and tranquility found in the coastline, sky, and tide, the work explores the renewing nature the ocean creates in us. Daily thoughts of anxiety, fear, and isolation become calmed by the tranquil pull of the ocean breeze and waves to cleanse our thoughts, energize our bodies.
The second aspect explores those same rhythms found in cursive writing by moving beyond the words themselves. I see a similarity in the lines of cursive writing to the lines of landscape.
