Kristen, Thank you so much for your positive comments, and thanks for stopping by, too. I love this image for all the reasons you say.
Curator’s Comment:
I often see charcoal drawings that aspire to a photographic likeness- Cormorant conversely strike me as a photograph that has the qualities of charcoal. The smudgy black of the architectural elements is beautifully balanced by the empty white negative space. The cormorant is elegantly positioned with its head careening towards the pilings in seeming acknowledgement of their scale and weight. I love how the horizon disappears into the white- the jagged reflective light pulling the viewer away from the meeting place of water and sky. Lake Ice has this similar hand drawn quality, but with a very different compositional structure. But in both pieces the sharpness of the camera seems to be forfeited for a more evocative use of blurred light and shadow. Both pieces put me in an edgeless expanse so that I lose my visual ‘footing’, and enter into the watery space.
