This series captures the vibrant energy of beloved beaches in Southwest England. Those stretches of coast where families gather, surfers wait for the perfect wave, and summer days seem to last forever. Marram grass anchors the foreground, bending in the coastal breeze, while busy, tumbling waves roll across the middle distance beneath blue summer skies. The darker horizon beyond holds the promise of more waves to come.
These pieces are woven from memories of active, joyful days by the sea: the exhilaration of swimming in rolling surf, the focused engineering of sandcastle construction, impromptu beach cricket games, and that particular kind of happy exhaustion that comes from a full day of play in the waves. This is the British seaside at its most spirited—not the quiet contemplation of distant shores, but the bustling, splashing, laughter-filled reality of a proper beach holiday.
Through the 3D weaving technique, the movement and energy of these north devon beaches comes alive in textile form—you can almost hear the shouts of delight and feel the spray
Dimensions: Artwork 800 × 600mm, including the oak dowel
