I saw some drawings on Instagram made by a friend @richardbriggs_artist , of the movement of a car over a bumpy road in Bolivia. It prompted me to pull out my own drawings made just over a year ago recording waves lapping my feet on a rising and a falling tide on the south coast of New South Wales.
I steadily drew a line back and forth across the page and if a wave washed over my feet I drew it as a peak, for the duration of it’s ebb and flow.

Rising tide, 3.49pm to 4.19 pm, 15 March 2018, ink on recycled ledger
This is a continuous line drawing at the same location.

PS lest you think that I am even more of a tide nerd than I am, the details on the page were copied from a tide guide at the Ranger station at our campground.

‘Tide nerd’, that is niche!

The first one looked like a mini-earthquake was going on. Looks like fun!

It was fun, but I found it hard to stand in one place for such a long time.

Very nice – a lovely way to spark artwork ideas, if you decide to take these further. True conceptual art!

Hi Anna, I must say that this way of working is becoming very appealing to me. I think that I enjoy the challenge of representing something so ephemeral.
