Transience (St. Jacob's, Ontario)
River water tumbling over a dam, creating a turbulent chaos below. Foam forming, spreading out and drifting away from the dam in dynamic, ever-changing shapes and patterns … a virtual kaleidoscope of creations. I was mesmerized.
As I watched, I became more and more fascinated with the transience of the different formations. Sometimes they remained the same for many seconds, and at other times they would change almost instantaneously. In my imagination, I came to see them not merely as constantly evolving shapes of foam, but as possible scenes and storylines. I began to photograph.
When the final prints were completed and the collection was mounted on a wall, interpretations I had not previously considered flooded my brain. … I could not help but wonder, “What will others see?”
