Tiny tears fill an ocean

Sailor's Valentine

Once there were seven seas

Oceans as stardust

Where the Atlantic meets the Pacific

Becoming 0.4%

Seabath at Night

When the sea breaks up little breaths fall

Sea, salt, moon, air

Black Sea in Light

We meet at the shore where I left you

Mirage

Tiny tears fill an ocean is a continuing body of work.

The photos in this series were taken over the course of twenty years throughout the world. The locations are specific and yet could seemingly be - anywhere.

The printed photos are soaked in sea water until the water evaporates leaving crystalline traces of salt on the fragile surface. Due to the delicate nature of the surface through this process the images are rephotographed and printed. This time, they present the viewer with the original waterscape and the traces of its physicality - its composition. I am playing with our origins….while considering how we and the seas are composed of salt and water —— we shed tears of salt ——we are — sorrow and joy - I thread thoughts toward what should be a constant ecology watch, rising and falling water levels. We are connected to our world and universe. We too reside on the surface…as much as within.
