Tracks in Time at the beach, 1/2 sized Resin wooden surf art piece

Description

Part of my Tracks in Time series on a Handcrafted wooden Surfboard. This series

1/2 sized handcrafted wooden surfboard with resin art on it depicting wildlife tracks meandering across the work with my signature waves washing across them. The

tracks the wildlife leave are fleeting and just a moment in time, weather and waves erase them, leaving nothing

behind to indicate they have ever been there. Sadly, this mirrors the lives of some species becoming endangered

or extinct.

In this artwork the surfboard shape is indicating the coastal areas that are impacted and the wildlife tracks

shown are the green turtle and humans. While the green turtle is still with us, more and more are falling to

interactions with humans, being caught in fishing nets, hit by boats or impacted by pollution of the waterways.

In this artwork that is represented by the turtle tracks coming against the human footprints and disappearing.

There are some footprints keeping their distance, representing good interactions with the species and in some

cases even efforts to assist. There is still time to turn the tides on extinction and ensure tracks continue to be

left in time for generations to see.
