I grew up at the shore, watching waves erase everything in their path, crabs, shells, sand dollars, and feeling, for just a moment, beautifully insignificant.
This piece began with a piece of driftwood I pulled from the Truckee River, where I spent years floating its banks and wandering its edges. The driftwood is heavy, long, and full of stories. I treated it by hand before a single knot was tied.
A band of the rope is hand-dyed with wild berries, a deep blue, unrepeatable. Every strand knotted by hand to capture that feeling: the overwhelm of something enormous arriving, and then the silence after it recedes. The circular details in the rope, those are sand dollars.
A wave takes everything in its path. Then life continues. The ocean remains. The cycle starts again.
We keep pretending we are bigger than it.
Materials: Truckee River driftwood, organic cotton (3 types, 4 diameters), silk fiber, Peruvian Merino wool, natural berry dye
Dimensions: 93" W x 120" H x 6" D
