Long Nook

Recent work of mine has been about seeing what we are surrounded by but don’t perceive. “Long Nook” began as a formal exercise, a vertical panorama of the division line of land and sea at Cape Cod between the Massachusetts coast and the Atlantic Ocean. From single photos taken just as each wave crested I spliced together an all at once 360-degree vertical revolution of what the camera recorded.

In the assembled vertical panorama of “Long Nook,” I see the water as it rushes up over the land. It is a flood tide that does not recede, an emblem of the rise in ocean levels, an inevitable consequence of global warming.
