## Caption

The Deering Estate presents High Tide Low Tide, a performance in the Visitor Center Theater directed by artist and writer Mette Tommerup. In this work, the canvas, which is the foundation of Tommerup’s artistic practice, takes on a life of its own. This performance is inspired by The Little Mermaid, exploring emotional currents, transformation, and the unseen worlds revealed through creativity.

Rooted in both Miami’s tidal geography and Mette Tommerup’s Scandinavian heritage, Tommerup’s practice draws from a Nordic tradition of reduction - an elemental paring down that foregrounds atmosphere, light, and spatial perception over representation. Ocean, earth, dusk, and the auroral phenomena of the northern lights operate not as imagery but as structural conditions: forces that dissolve boundaries, destabilize orientation, and expand the field of painting beyond the wall. Through these immersive spatial propositions, she positions painting as a phenomenological encounter-an embodied threshold where architecture, landscape, and viewer converge.

High Tide Low Tide unfolds as a cycle of four public interventions inspired by the rhythms of the sea. Rather than representing the ocean, the project follows the movement of the tide itself its continual revealing and concealing of landscapes, memories, and emotional worlds. Across all four interventions, High Tide Low Tide proposes that creativity moves like the sea itself. It arrives in cycles. It uncovers hidden landscapes within us before gently covering them again, reminding us that what disappears is never truly lost. Beneath every shoreline and within every person another world waits for the tide to return.
