EBB AND FLOW

Hand made felt with machine and hand stitching

I came across a photograph of a rather battered sculpture called 'Tide 1' by Barbara Hepworth. She had deemed the carving a failure because it had cracked and had flung it away in the garden! I fell in love with it, and it inspired this piece.

I like to go down to the River Orwell or the Deben when high tide is approaching, especially on a spring tide. There is something magical about a high tide.
