Diaphanous | Beneath the surface Under these conditions Crystalline sharpness |

t is fortunate I was actively shooting these ice formations last week, because on my return the warming trend has removed them from consideration. I really like the metaphysical translucency of the material, transporting this imagery toward abstract expressionism, which characterizes art as nonrepresentational and chiefly improvisational. Of course this visual classification is ironical, as these depicted forms are found directly in the natural world and are a result of ordinary forces.
“Abstract painting is abstract. It confronts you. There was a reviewer a while back who wrote that my pictures didn't have any beginning or any end. He didn't mean it as a compliment, but it was.” - Jackson Pollock
