Time and Tide explores the relationship between the beachcomber, and found fossil and stone. Collected from along the Dorset coastline, these natural forms are treasure to the young and curiosities to the old.

This set is arranged in a time line to contrast the changes that occur in our life, with the timeless qualities of these found pieces. While time changes the human frame, the presence, which defines our beauty, remains.
