The inlet appears benign but is fraught with dangerous currents during tidal changes.  Still waters run deep in the channels but they bely the dangers below.  This lovely autumn day is still, permitting the constant roar of the surf coming in from Bass Strait and pounding the peninsula with an eternal resonance.  A tang of salt in the air means the winds will change and disrupt the serenity of the inlet surface by tomorrow.  Seize the moment.  Seize the day.  Seize life.

Hand dyed Merino, handmade felt, silk throwster’s waste, silk slub, Japanese seed bead embroidery, freeform hand embroidery.  Canvas size: 50 x 40 cms.  Actual felt component size measures approximately 37 x 34 cms.
