cotton thread, ceramic. Completed March 2017
Various, Max: W6cm L7.5cm D2cm

The routine and repeated act of retrieving shells from a shoreline, curated collections of natural debris gathered into vessels to claim and suspend memories. An act that transcends class, nationality, religion, gender and age, it interlaces the presence of persons on a coastline and the removal of artefacts contemporaneously.
