Quay 9

The Quay series explores time in relation to the cyclical nature of chaos and tranquility. Using large open bodies of water as a canvas and shooting hundreds of fractional second chronological frames, we gain a further visual understanding of the randomized organic movement of refracted light. The turbulent characteristics of the subject traced by momentary fragments of light allow us a glimpse into the natural cycles of chaos and tranquility that define the transient nature of the human experience.

For me, all subjects exist as fluid, their surfaces ever-changing by way of variations in light, time, and perspective. Through my photographic work, created entirely without digital manipulation, I aim to highlight the unique combinations of these factors that give life and soul to the surrounding atmosphere and to the present moment. At the core of my work I explore how these variables along with the differences in our subjective perspective define the unique feelings we associate with commonplace subjects.
