driftwood art
Shoreline timber creations
Driftwood art is sculpture or decorative work made from wood that has washed ashore after floating in oceans, rivers, or lakes.
The natural weathering, smoothing, and bleaching from water and sun gives driftwood distinctive textures and shapes that artists incorporate into their pieces.
Works range from polished tabletop sculptures to large outdoor installations: The gallery featured driftwood art collected from Pacific Northwest beaches.
