Sand Patterns at Crane beach

I frequently walk the beach and dune paths at Crane Neck on Boston’s North Shore observing the unspoiled landscapes there. My responses to these scenes are very much affected by the season, weather, time of day and the behaviors of the creatures visiting or living there.

The natural forces of waves, tides, wind and rain, have a dramatic affect on the landscapes. Even though the physical elements in the environment are somewhat randomly shaped by these forces, I find shapes and forms that evoke familiar objects and past experiences.

This work presents an image reminiscent of the experience of observation, two images of static forms found in the sand and an image representing the dynamic nature of the environment.
