Sea Level Series  2022

​As a species we have ventured onto the sea for as long as we’ve had the means to do so and the experience is common enough. This belies how remarkable a thing it is—the solid land we’re native to is there, the shifting sea we cannot stand on is here.

I spend time looking back at solid land from the sea in a very small craft and it has subtly changed my perception. The names we give to the things that we know seem to encapsulate them well enough, seem to touch at their meaning and inner consistency. I think we have somewhat deceived ourselves.

The sea is an exacting teacher of the difference between what is real and what is thought. I’ve quieted myself in the last few years and this is what I find—the words we use deliver abstraction more than meaning. When language rests what is real rushes to take its place. This is what I attempt to paint.
