Driftwood

This work could be looked on as a statement about life itself, the dark and light side, the twists, turns and tangles we encounter as we age. It is, in fact, driftwood on a New Zealand beach, washed, blasted, tumbled, giving it a polished and silvered shine in places, cracked and pitted in others. New Zealand has beautiful driftwood. A lifetime’s work on one beach.

I began this work as I was on my own journey through cancer treatment. It is a connection to my birth place and I needed to create something for my own satisfaction.
