Tides of Hardened Earth is a compact sculptural piece measuring 19" x 11" x 2.5" that invites close exploration of its rich, tactile surface. Crafted from wool, viscose, silk, and wire, its asymmetrical form evokes the rocks along the French River in Ontario. A dark gray base supports bold, flowing patterns in butterscotch, white, and muted grays, creating a dynamic interplay of color and texture reminiscent of molten rock cooled into stone. The fibrous, mineral-like surface suggests movement and depth, while smaller embedded rocks add weight and dimension, connecting the piece to the raw earth’s resilient landscape. This artwork offers an intimate yet powerful presence, ideal for spaces that invite detailed observation and contemplation.
