Weathered Driftwood Assemblage

A mixed-media sculpture combines silvered, salt-crusted driftwood with smooth sea glass. The juxtaposition of the wood’s fibrous, eroded grain against the glass’s polished surface explores textural contrast, inviting touch and highlighting nature’s role in shaping artistic materials.
