Tabula Rasa is about loss and renewal. The surfaces of 20 tablets of Portland stone have been carved to resemble the changing surface of the beach after the tide has rushed over it. The edges of the stone have been pitched to form a rough untouched edge, like a torn piece of paper.

A skeletal boat was constructed from found and cast branches and a sail. It was set on a tiny island on the lake and appears to have grown out of the landscape itself. It is a counterpoint to the changing seasons.
