Figure transformation has always been a predominant theme in my work, and over the last twenty years my practice has likewise centered on water as a transformative medium. While I, of course, use traditional photographic tools, I view myself operating more as a painter. My paint brushes become the figures moving weightless in the water, through the frame, their speed determining their level of clarity.
When I was working on the Chromatic series, I found myself moving in a very different and exciting direction. I wanted to connect back in history, to use water to reinterpret the meaning of the Colour Field work epitomized by such great painters as Mark Rothko, Helen Frankenthaler, Morris Lewis, Barnett Newman, and so many others. It was important to challenge the seemingly obvious assumption that water always needs to be blue.
