SURF'S EDGE

SEA FOAM oil on linen 12 x 12" available

The delicate hem of the waves, torn away and left stranded on the sand... Not my soap this time, just the remains of the foam from the wave break. I read that here in San Diego, that foam is likely to be from the kelp that grows in huge forests offshore and gives off protein-rich agar and other goodies into our seas. That organic matter gets churned up with the motion of the waves and makes that frothy, ephemeral edging. Just the surf, dressing itself in homemade, iridescent lace.
