The patterns in these photographs echo my experience of standing at the water's edge, recording the effects of wind and light upon water. They demonstrate a moment frozen in time using a fast shutter speed, which reveals markings on the surface of the liquid. Because we live in time, we are unable to examine these intricate nuances without the use photography. The camera captures a single fleeting moment that can never be repeated. What appears is a serendipitous surprise to me.
This series began with the idea of transforming a familiar, commonplace element from its literal representation into something poetic. Drop exposes the hidden, mystical features of an otherwise ordinary substance.
