The coastal shoreline is a unique place where land and ocean overlap. When the conditions are right, the persistent and unyielding tidal forces can carve hollows and divots into the bedrock itself. Groupings of these sculptural rock formations are called Tafoni.  from Brent Comber.

While holidaying together on a Gulf Island five artist friends realized that they needed to put their work together in a show. They were intrigued by the distinctive Tafoni rock features which can be found on many of the islands of the Salish Sea. These wonderful forms have lent themselves to artwork in the form of painting, photography, poetry, porcelain and mixed media.

Tafoni: Weathering is just one of three shows that opened at PoMoArts last Thursday evening. It features the work of painter Sande Waters, photographer Carolyn Sullivan, poet Celeste Snowber, potter Denise Jeffrey and mixed media artist Ellen Pelto.
