In Coding Driftwood I try to reveal some of the mysteries surrounding driftwood. I picked up 30 pieces on the beaches near Hasting and St Leonards in the UK. With a set of branding irons, made out of shovels, I marked them with some data: a number and a place and sometimes the date and my initials. The SPACE, St Leonards, functioned as an outdoor workshop en as a warehouse until I put 20 back into the sea. Somebody can find them on a beach and know where they have been at one point. The other ten I brought home to send back into the sea at different locations. Summer 2014
