Tide Pool (2025), 'Here We Glow' - Arts By The Sea Festival, Bournemouth Pier, Western Super Culture
My first commission, Tide Pool, was for the Here We Glow Exhibit on Bournemouth Pier, produced by Paula Birtwistle, for Arts By The Sea Festival 2025: Friday 26th - Sunday 28th September. The flowing fluid form was inspired by abstracted seaweed and finned sea creatures, whilst the light orbs (borrowed from Little Lost Robot's Decoherence) were meant to evoke dappled light falling upon glassy stones and pearls through shallow water, linking to the treasures one might find in a tide pool if they choose to look.
