Adrift

With Adrift I have created what seems like a contradiction – still lifes in moving water. Using plant ephemera from my garden I design carefully layered tableaux that I secure in the ripples and small rapids of woodland streams. Once in the water my botanic elements shift in and out of focus, and the lines, textures and patterns dance with dramatic flashes of brilliant color. While the visual field is fast and fleeting I must move with an inner stillness to capture the momentary and lyrical imagery unfolding in front of me.
