Turn of the wave

Turn of the wave. 2018.

The reef reads like a sheet of rusted metal pressed hard against a pane of swirling glass. Water works its way in from the left, frothing and dissolving into lace, while the orange rock holds firm, scarred by channels and pockets where the tide keeps testing the edge. The image is as much about contact as it is about colour, that charged line where green and blue collide with ochre, hinting at the constant negotiation between movement and solidity along this stretch of coast.
