“Tidal Ways” is an ongoing collection of digital photographic images whose ultimate purpose is to capture and chronicle the accidental artistry created by the sea as it interacts with the natural elements it deposits along the coastlines of North America. Not a single component is ever added, removed or rearranged during the process of photographing what not only emerge as works of art that often can be simultaneously beautiful, humorous and haunting, but upon deeper reflection may also cause one to feel as though they are taking part in a Rorschach test that has been intricately etched into a canvas of sand. Indeed, the ability of these images to engage the viewer’s imagination in new and compelling ways knows no limits.
