Padre Island National Seashore is the longest remaining undeveloped stretch of barrier island in the world. It separates the Gulf of Mexico from Laguna Madre, and protects coastline, dunes, prairies and wind tidal flats.
For the last fourteen years my studio work has been focused on our world waters as news stories of specific water places and issues drive me to respond…
I push pull and wash color and texture against true land/water shapes so that virtually every curving edge represents an actual place where water meets land on the skin of our only earth, with stories to tell.
DROPS is my recent 7-year archive-based conceptual art project following the contours of news and of waters on our one fragile planet:
Each photographic print depicts an object… a unique dimensional “imaginary real” water DROP. "Padre" (Texas) is #922 in THE DROPS COLLECTION of 1000 works, each created over time with acrylic medium, film, pencil and ink, then placed into a protective 4-inch clear glass Petri dish (with lid). Later, photographer T. Maxwell Wagner removed the glass lid for the photography of each DROP. In some of the prints you might detect a hint of the number engraved into the side of the bottom dish. I consistently enjoy how the bottom Petri dish holding each DROP acts as a frame for the artwork when photographed, while the rim of the dish often reflects color intensities accentuated by the photographer’s light source…just as real water reflects light!
I’m so happy to be partnering with Dolphin Archival Printing in Kansas City for your print orders. Your selections will be printed on Canson Infinity Platine Fibre Rag which offers an exquisite satin surface. Your print will arrive unmounted. There will be an extra 1- inch white border beyond the printed image to facilitate your matting and framing options.
PRICING:
16” x 16” $ 90.00
22” x 22” $ 140.00
The final product will measure 18” x 18” with a white border around the 16” x 16” image size.
