With this new series, I am focusing my thoughts on the ocean. As a dive instructor for many years, my love for the Pacific Ocean, its quiet crackle deep below the surface, has left a deep imprint upon me. Warming waters are threatening this ecosystem, and this body of work explores human interconnectedness with our oceans and seas, our reliance upon them and their reliance upon us. The starfish are growing fingers to claw their way out of the warming waters, the coral is bleaching, growing feet to escape the heat, the giant kelp has become ambulatory to run from the overpopulation of urchins, and lab clamps with human fingers firmly grasp sea life, examining them, dissecting their secrets.
