Tidewrack

Liese Stanley often walks the local coastline picking up beach finds to turn into art. If you are imagining traditional shell, driftwood and pebble art pieces found in so many coastal shops and galleries, think again.This art is textural and multi-layered and made from tidewrack.

Tidewrack is marine litter, accidentally or deliberately released into open water. Although it may contain naturally occurring debris; feathers, driftwood, shells etc, the majority is man made, discarded items. These range from cotton bud sticks to McDonald toys, from bottle tops to fishing hooks, from Christmas decorations to ceramics.

Put together in various colourways, the result is impressive and not what you would necessarily expect at first glance.
The pieces draw people in, encourages them to think about the content and gently begin to question what the items are and how and why they ended up on our coastline.

Liese says “My aim is to create something beautiful and interesting that stands alone. But I love the idea that my work encourages conversation and imagination. Each individual item has its own story as does each beach. How the beach is used, it’s position regarding tide flow and both its flotsam and jetsom is reflected in the finished piece.”

Art pieces are inspired by and sourced from local beaches including Portishead, Weston and Clevedon beaches.
