Quirky, surreal, and wonderfully unexpected, "Tide" plays with the boundary between humanity and the deep blue. A vintage figure dressed in sharp, preppy shorts and knee-high socks stands boldly in front of turbulent, frothy ocean waters. In place of a face, a brilliantly colored, textured spiral bursts outward, anchoring the subject in vivid imagination. Vibrant pink stripes ground the figure, giving this piece a distinct, modern pop-art edge mixed with vintage coastal charm.
About the Collection:
The pieces in this collection are built from a box of vintage Garden & Gun magazines that belonged to my late father. As I worked with these images, I found myself exploring the lush Southern landscapes I haven’t yet traveled, blending his memories with my own sense of curiosity and whimsy.
