a love letter from Joan
Darling,
Have you ever tried to make sense of the sea while your bed is sinking in it? I have—on a Tuesday, no less. This piece was born from an insomnia-fueled dream and an unfortunate oil spill I saw in the headlines. I imagined a time-traveling woman who, mid-dive into her own subconscious, gets caught somewhere between a 1960s love affair and an offshore rig catastrophe. How romantic!
There’s something devastatingly chic about drowning in denial, don’t you think? And just like the ocean, this piece holds secrets: colonial capitalism, environmental decay, and the questionable allure of a vintage headboard.
Love,
Joan

A surreal fever dream of disaster and domesticity, “Time Slip Off the West Coast” by Joan Seed is a 1960s retro collage plunging headfirst into environmental collapse. This cinematic tableau pairs mid-century nostalgia with a warning siren about climate change, capitalism, and feminine survival. Printed on museum-grade giclée paper, this haunting piece is available in bold 30x30 or monumental 60x60 inch formats to anchor any modern interior.
Perfect for collectors of dark humor, political symbolism, and ironic retro futurism, this artwork is both a visual stunner and a conversation grenade.

This artwork is an ideal conversation starter for interior designers, eco-conscious collectors, and contemporary art galleries seeking bold statement pieces with a message. “Time Slip Off the West Coast” fuses anti-capitalist, environmental, and feminist commentary in a metaphoric 1960s retro surrealist style. Great for symbolic art collectors, fans of ironic pop surrealism, and those drawn to high-impact visuals of climate disaster and socio-political decay.
