Finds- a jumble of bones, a rubber thimble and a sun bleached crab claw on found driftwood board. Contents of my waterproof pocket.. the claw and the bones were from Donegal and the thimble was found in the beach car park down the road. #finds #traces #materials #bones #totems #seatotems #tokens #whatwasleft #gathered #collected #forgotten #visualpoem #visuallanguage #poetics #materiality #materiallanguage #coast #coastalfinds #seashore #ofthesea #claw #driftwood #thimble #semiotics #signs #platter #senseofplace #landscape #contemporaryirishart https://www.instagram.com/p/B16hAjaAkFe/?igshid=1rfb877limcjj
