January 2017 Beach Exercises on Whitecrest Beach in Wellfleet, MA - exploration done with Gregory Beson.

Morning walks with intention.
 
Observations that revealed the variety of different markings and impressions made in the sand: 

1. The tide receding and the overlapping waves on the shore, revealing a scalloped push and pull pattern - a cycle of change. 

2. The objects found in the sand, little islands of matter found either partially buried from tides or tiny dunes carved by the wind. 

3. The alien patterns of the rocks rolling down the enormous dune walls - traces made from mass and gravity. 

In order to understand these natural behaviors we looked for ways to emulate and map with our own bodies. Creating impressions, using our full bodies as stylus tools - rolling, throwing, walking.
