WATER
I make art because I am interested in the effects of light on transparent objects. For me the differing qualities of light, reflections, and shade, signify the mysteries of life and the fragility of existence on earth. Recently I have been working on a project about water, how light reflects on and through the transparent surface, and how the surface can seem to look dark as well.
Water is now a precious commodity. It wraps itself around our planet and is essential for life. We use it for pleasure, but it can be a destructive force that erodes stone or drowns communities. I am concerned that we squander it and use it for trivial purposes. My recent work documents the ways that its use is both valued and taken for granted.
