"Emergent Ecological Technologies #2""2009 60 "w X 40"h photograph.lightjet print edition of 7 + 2 APInspired by the surf, the unpredictable elements of nature,and the energy of the ocean.As well, as the amount of "consumer plastics" needed by humans to enjoy the beach.I set out to create new images incorporating the waves, both light and ocean, wind, sand, explosives, and sculptures made of plastics, rubber and fiber optics.I created mini installations on the shoreline, with fiber optics driven by 9v volt batteries, that proved to be waterproof.It was extremely difficult to work in that changing environment in the middle of the night, half of the time I was knee deep in water with the waves crashing on my tripod.But some interesting and exciting new images were created, and spawned a ton of new thoughts about how to create works integrating nature.
