About this piece
This stretch crosses a state line along one continuous beach, with Back Bay and Currituck Sound behind it. The tide on the ocean side and the wind on the sounds decide the day. The tide hand rotates once every 12 hours and 25 minutes with the lunar cycle, holding the coast's rhythm after a single setting at high tide.
Right for a Virginia Beach home, a Corolla or Duck rental, or anyone who drives that road every summer.
The coast is carved in relief on the Virginia Beach to Kitty Hawk 3D chart.

How the water becomes wood
One hand on this wall answers to the moon, not the hour.
The tide hand turns once every 12 hours and 25 minutes, the lunar cycle. Set it at your local high tide once and it tracks from there, over the carved, hand-stained shoreline of Virginia Beach to Kitty Hawk.
For the wall you pass on the way down to the water.
Mudroom, kitchen, the wall above the boat keys. Birch face, hand-stained sea, quartz movement, one AA battery, ready to hang.
