linen and stones, shells, fossils, etc. from the sea

2.5" x 3" x 3", 2019

Ode for the Ocean is one of 49 small woven boxes many composed with items from the sea -- stones, shells, fossils and so on -- on their lids. It started as a diary-project when we moved to the sea some years ago. "We moved from an area with woods, and as I have always used materials from the place where I live and where I travel, it was obvious I needed now to draw sea-related elements into my art work".
