Water and Weight, 2008

These images are a metaphor for emotional tensions, the daily struggle between liberation and constraint.   The figures move through the blue fields of water, either celebrating a form of weightlessness or caught by a net and trapped.   The frame of the camera establishes a space which is without horizon, the deep end of the pool, modified by the grid of the net or the whisper of a phrase.

The images are made on film, transferred to digital format and printed as large scale Iris Giclee prints on Hahnemuhle William Turner paper. All prints are 33 x 47 (or 47 x 33) editioned to 8.
