Tidal Axis is participating in Arts Alive, Oak Bay Sculpture Exhibition in Victoria, British Columbia for one year opening this May 2026.

The Tidal Series is inspired by the fluid patterns found within nature. Fluid design manifests throughout nature, not just in water, but also in air and rock. Fluid dynamics reveal momentum, force, and serve as inspiration for an ongoing series of paintings and sculptures. The sculpture installed in Oak Bay is Tidal Axis, named after the axis, formed with two plates of stainless steel incised with the pattern of the sun’s reflection on water. The axis represents symmetry of two identical halves and is a symbol of stability and structure. Structure and symmetry appear at odds with water’s constant state of flux, always shifting resisting shape, yet I see order in the chaos. I see a skeletal shape that hints to its underlying structure as a living force not bound by the shoreline.
