Driftwood Allure by Keith R Wahl, Made From RI GalleryDriftwood Grain (Select the photo to see in a larger format) A closeup of the grain of a driftwood stump found on Moonstone Beach in South Kingstown, Rhode Island. There is an undeniable attraction to driftwood as we walk the beach. From far away, it is something bleached, twisted, different, and interesting. Up close, there are patterns, swirls, embedded with sand and stones. To others, it is an inspiration. It is art. Henry David Thoreau wrote of its inspiration on the beach. To critic Harold Rosenberg, it is a way of explaining modern art: "Modern Art does not have to be actually new; it only has to be new to somebody—to the last lady who found out about the driftwood." In this case, pictured, we decide to take a seat and enjoy the view as the waves provide their music upon the shore.
