Visualizing the Coast

To represent the coast means reckoning with the dynamism of water. To draw water, to capture particles in constant motion with static lines, tones, textures, or shades, seems impossible. From the regular rhythms of ocean tides and deltaic flows to sporadic storm surges and tumultuous waves, water moves across vast territories. And from the slow and powerful geological processes of erosion to the frightful rapidness of a flash flood, water carves and inundates, shaping the land beneath and around it. Never static, the coast is always in flux.
