I photographed the Sand Abstractions series on the north shore of Massachusetts over many months in 2016-2017. I had by chance discovered a beach with patterns I had never seen anywhere else - like pencil sketches with a beautiful, soft blue color - and I became kind of obsessed with documenting them. The ephemeral nature of them only added to their appeal, but trying to figure out when exactly they would appear turned out to be difficult.
These patterns are created by sediments and minerals in the sand. They are all different sizes, weights, and colors, and when the tide goes out, some of the lighter particles are washed away with the water, and some of the heavier (usually the darker shades) are left behind. In the case of these images, seaweed, rocks and shells lying right outside the shot added another filter mechanism too, and helped shape the patterns.
So the main factor in capturing these images was the timing of the tide, it had to be just right, and when it was, I went down to the beach early in the morning before any potential patterns were destroyed by people and dogs. Most of the time, I came home with nothing, but on days when I was lucky, I found a pattern I loved that was still intact. This is one of them.

★★★★★LisaIt was a big purchase for me as I have never bought someone else's photograph before. I usually take my own. As a matter of fact, I just won the county art show with one of my photographs! So you are special to me because yours is the first photograph that I have hung on my wall that isn't mine. And I am thrilled with my purchase!
