Form and Formless
About the Project
For all time, water has simply been. Ocean waves and tides drum endless rhythms, rivers carve canyons and tumble from cliffs, and clouds roam the skies, dropping rain and sleet and snow when and where ever they choose. It endlessly transforms its appearance, all the while sustaining our lives on earth.
In details photographed from the immense waterfalls of Iceland, I’ve sought to embody the intense energy and fluidity that I experienced in all its abstract form and formlessness. I fold, crumple and shape the printed photographs into sculptural objects to better express the power, cacophony and mutability that I felt at the scene, which don’t seem containable in two dimensions.
Like all of nature, water is fundamental and timeless, known and yet unknown. I feel like if I pay attention long enough, perhaps someday I’ll understand.
