Seas, 2017–

 

An ongoing series of works that capture in sharp focus the constant motion of the sea over periods between a minute and over half an hour. They present another way of inscribing time in an image, and of translating into visual form an embodied experience of being in the world, often in quite extreme weather conditions.

Printed on aluminium panels, each work remains highly responsive to light, its appearance shifting as the viewer moves or as the light changes. It is unstable and, like its subject, unfolds over time.
