Horizon Line No. 05: Tide Record

Part of the Horizon Line Series, this piece captures the visual record left on harbor infrastructure by tidal cycles — the horizontal staining on dock pilings, seawalls, and concrete breakwaters where water meets structure at the same heights day after day, year after year. The rough-edged blue bands show visible drag and brush texture that references the way salt water deposits mineral traces as it retreats. White passages break through like calcium buildup or salt crystallization on weathered marine surfaces. The composition reads less as painted stripes and more as documentary evidence — how the Pacific marks everything it touches in horizontal bands. Ideal for coastal bedrooms seeking authentic maritime art beyond typical beach imagery, contemporary bathrooms where blue tones ground the space, or living rooms near the coast where art reflects the actual textures of Northern California's working waterfront rather than its postcard version.
