Shore Break is the first in a series of 3 works which are based on the experience of walking along the Bayside beaches of Boonwurrung/Bunurong Country.

That beautiful machine, the bicycle.
Measured against the body of man
Matching his movements in fine engineering gestures
Its wheels hum along Beach Road
Mapping the edge of the Bay

Discarded in a frenzy of consumption
Testament to the ephemeral reality of life.

Yet the memory of the form of the land
Salt air on the full breeze
And the slow even break on the shore
Lingers.
Adjusting the racing heartbeat
Into the pull of the moon
