Les Cathédrales
During our camper holiday in Spain, we visited the north coast. The most famous beaches are internationally known As Catedrais, the beach of the cathedrals. The name is due to the characteristic arched rock formations. Some are broken under the intense activity of the sea. A visit at high tide can be done
POTENTIAL

Flexible Re-Use
Umbrellas can be used in many different ways, and were my inspiration.
On The Edge

The Boulders
The Moeraki Boulders are a group of large spherical “stones” on Koekohe Beach near Moeraki on New Zealand’s Otago coast. These boulders are actually concretions that have been exposed through shoreline erosion from coastal cliffs. There are still boulders remaining in the mudstone that will, eventually, fall on to the
MOTHER… Deep Down Under
On Earth, cardiovascular stem cells, also known as cardiovascular progenitor (Mother) cells or CPCs, can continually divide to produce more of the same type of cells or develop into other specialized cell types. In my artwork, I searched for the “Mother” cell (lower left corner) and found that one cell
