The Watchman's Tide
8” x 6” x 2”
On display and available for purchase at Jackson Memorial Library, Tenants Harbor, ME
In The Watchman’s Tide, a pocket watch anchors a constellation of shells and script, suggesting the ways the sea and memory both measure and erase. It is a reliquary of the shore, where each fragment becomes a marker of passing time.

Handwritten ledger paper
Wooden frame
This work places a pocket watch at the heart of a frame surrounded by seashells and fragments of handwritten ledger paper. The layering of natural and archival elements speaks to the tidal passage of time — how memory, like the shoreline, is shaped by both what is lost and what remains.
