Looking for Life in Form: Locust Beach: Portraits of Driftwood

Sculptural forms are found in the driftwood washed ashore on Locust Beach. Limbs of wood reaching out and gesturing, barked skin is stretched and pulled tight as it ages, dries and cracks under the exhaustion of salt water and sun. Locust Beach has a half mile tide only inches deep, leaving these naturally stricken postures of wood submerged partially in the shallow mud of the tide flats. There beauty is in the permanent performance, the theatre is the ever changing shoreline.
