TIDAL SOCKS

Whilst on a residency in Plymouth I discovered North Corner.
It’s an old part of town where the 1960’s fly-over bridge dominates the waterfront.
Beneath this road the beach falls away steeply in a constant darkness.
It is a place where flytipping frequently occurs and the River Tamar brings in its salvage daily.
Working alongside the tide, I sewed the socks, following the traces of sea snails, moss and lichen on the composting carpet.
