Powerwave

We live on an essentially wild and beautiful planet.
To maintain this we need to find and use more sustainable sources of energy like 'Wave Power.'
The Moon creates strong and dependably regular tidal power, which may be harnessed by humans (as long as we ensure against disrupting marine and birdlife)

'Powerwave' is inspired by this natural energy source and the visual outcome of Tidal Power can be seen at 'The Race', the entrance and exit of water between the Teign Estuary and the sea.

The tide constantly moves and changes the landscape; it shows us how we need to move with nature and not against it.
