Tide Clocks
Tide clocks keep time with the ebb and flow of the local lunar tides and indicate whether the tide is falling or rising. Designed and hand made by Lewis Banks, and using a precision quartz motion, these clocks are functional as well as beautiful.

Horizons
'Exultation is the going of an inland soul to sea. Past the houses - past the headlands - into deep eternity. Bred as we, among the mountains, can the sailor understand the divine intoxication of the first league out from land.' (Emily Dickinson)

Fish
'The biggest fish he ever caught were those that got away.' (Eugene Field)

~ ~ ~

Lewis' fish can be caught - fish in frames or fish that swim in the air, intermingling with their own shadows.
