Time Waves, 2019, projected loop (charcoal), framed photo & text, sound machine. In collaboration with Stellata Koppe, presented at WORM, Rotterdam, December 2019.

This piece connects two sides of the North Sea and two time periods: a charcoal animated loop of waves washing on the shore of Fraserburgh, a small town in Scotland, from which Tess’ ancestors fished for centuries, and Hoek van Holland in the modern day, where Stellata collected debris and sand to give sound to the waves through a kinetic sculpture. In this way, the sea has become a time traveling device - to connect past and present, coast to coast, water and dust.
