The statement piece of Pieces & Place, a collection of fragments of memory from the Cornish coast.
“The In-Between Hours” captures Daymer Bay, the sheltered beach in the Camel Estuary between Rock and Polzeath, where the water barely breaks before it spreads softly across the wide, flat sand.
At 122cm x 59cm, it’s the largest piece in the collection and the most personal. For ten years I worked in fashion at Ann’s Cottage, whose head office was just a short drive from Daymer, and most lunch breaks were spent here, watching the tide slip in and out of the estuary. Those hours between meetings and deadlines became some of my calmest, and this painting holds them.
Every material in this piece carries a story. The shoreline is pieced together from fragments of coffee bean sack from a local roaster. The ocean is layered with offcuts of a silk blouse and surfboard fibreglass from a shaper friend from my Ann’s Cottage days. The soft white wash of the wave is made from pieces of rope I found washed up on Daymer Bay, cut up and mixed into acrylic paint with a few grains of Daymer sand, so a little of the beach itself lives in the painting.
