Break Water

$5,000.00

Mixed media, collage found objects, wood, fishing net & dock line on canvas
44 H x 30 W x 6 D inches
2026

Original work. Signed and dated. Ships directly from the studio.

Description:

Break Water is a sculptural mixed media work exploring erosion, fracture, and the physical memory embedded within coastal materials. Built from reclaimed wood, rope, fabric, and layered painted surfaces, the piece moves between painting and object, allowing the structure itself to appear weathered, ruptured, and partially unearthed.

The central fissure functions simultaneously as landscape, wound, and architectural failure. Materials emerge from beneath the surface as if exposed through time, salt, pressure, and collapse. Soft atmospheric whites and grays contrast with the raw physicality of the embedded elements, creating tension between stillness and destruction.

Part of an ongoing body of work rooted in Coastal Ruinism, the piece examines how environments absorb history through erosion, instability, and structural breakdown.
