Tidbury spends hours scouring the sides of small vessels, identifying naturally occurring patterns that mimic the scale of the natural world. In Kenzie, the close-up focus reveals a landscape of grit and pigment, where the wear and tear of the sea creates shapes reminiscent of shorelines and coastal vistas. What appears to be a deliberate, expressive brushstroke is actually the result of time, salt, and sun acting upon the hull of a boat.

The work relies on the interplay between high-resolution photography and traditional printing methods. By utilizing Giclée techniques on archival paper, the image sheds its digital origins to take on the tactile depth of a pastel drawing or a textured painting. This approach invites the viewer to look closer at the overlooked, finding a deliberate sense of balance and graphic shape within the organic decay of maritime materials.
