Artwork Description

Looking Past the Surface

0.0 x 0.0

In the first canvas of this triptych you see an ocean shoreline as the water recedes and begins to expose tide pools. Looking at the second canvas we zoom closer into the scene and see an individual tide pool with exposed rock, a blue chasm of water, and plant and shell material floating just below the shallow surface of the water. In the final canvas, we magnify the view even further and we are surprised by unusual animal and plant life lurking in the sandy crevices of the tide pools depths. In creating this piece I used a palette knife in very loose strokes to give a sense of the constant movement of sand and water.
