What the Tide Swept Away is a shoreline story gathered piece by piece along New England’s coast — a mosaic of sea glass, pottery, shells, seaweed, and tide-worn fragments the ocean chose to return.
Centered on an 11x14 canvas, the mosaic itself forms a 10-inch circle, filled with soft white ceramics shaped by decades of salt and sand, warm amber glass, a single red focal shard, tangled preserved seaweed from a winter low tide, rope fibers, mussel-shell blues, and tiny shells tucked between them like memory markers.
Every element tells its own part of the story. Nothing is placed for decoration — it’s arranged the way the tide lays things down: layered, organic, and full of quiet movement. This piece is meant to feel like that moment when the water pulls back and reveals everything the ocean decided to let go of.
Details:
— Mixed shoreline media: sea glass, pottery, shells, seaweed, coral, mussel shell, drift rope
— Responsibly gathered from New England beaches
— Mosaic diameter: approx. 10 inches
— Mounted on an 11x14 stretched canvas
— 100% handmade original
— Sealed and preserved for long-term display
— Signed on the back with created by the ocean
For the collector who feels most at home where the tide is always shifting — a reminder that what’s swept away often finds its way back.
