Tide Pool by Sarah Irwin Tide is a metaphor for time, and a pool for water. What looks to be a ring of stones becomes a containment of swirls carved to mimic watery movements.

Impressions of Nature by Shauna MacLeod Whimsical and cheerful hand-built flowers made of Nova Scotia clay, glazed with bright and intense colours to attract and delight. The flowers are inspired by, but not imitations of real flowers and are meant to intrigue the viewer. I hope they encourage joy, and bring a smile to your face. MEDIUM: Clay, glaze, steel rods DIMENSIONS: 3’ x 2’6” COST: $1800 CONTACT: 902.225.7582 [email protected] blackcrowpottery.ca Experience every sculpture with your eyes, and take plenty of photos, but please respect the fragile nature of the art by not touching and climbing on them. Thank you! Inspired by this seaside setting, American visionary, Philip Hooper Moore opened White Point in 1928.
