“My work has long been firmly planted at the intersection of natural processes and humanity’s interventions with the natural world.  I am fascinated by the methods we use to reshape landscapes and am interested in how organic textures are framed by imposed geometries. Over the past five years, I have been using digital technologies to capture and re-contextualize the colors and textures of bodies of water around the country. The resulting works have taken various forms- from fully immersive interactions with digital video footage of microcosms inside a twenty-foot diameter geodesic dome projection screen to more intimate compositions inspired by Victorian wallpaper, traditional quilt block patterns, and stained-glass windows. These compositions respond directly to the hosting venue and use the various textures of water to investigate systems and ideas of place and time.” [Text: Andy Behrle]
