I found this piece of board yesterday washed up on the Humber flood defences. Something about it really appealed to me, the contrast of gloss paint against the worn smoothness of exposed wood. I also noticed how the paint had cracked echoed the rivulets and channels in the mud when the tide is out. I am not sure why I kept it or what, if anything, I will do with it, I just liked it.

About Annemarie Tickle
I am a Lecturer in Textiles at Hull School of Art and Design.
As a visual artist I am interested in atmospheric conditions and events and how the scale of nature makes mans mark on the landscape look insignificant. I enjoy the act of doing and getting my hands dirty so my practice is intensly process led. I use a wide range of media but am particular interested in dying techniques.
That is a cool find. Hope to see more about it.
