A Moment’s Flourish (AMF) is a series of color and black and white underwater photographs. The ocean is where life begins; it is simultaneously a playground, food source, a lullaby and nightmare - and yet we often don’t think of water as a space to inhabit. The coral reef provides shelter and nourishment for creatures whose colors and biological elements are both subtle and bombastic. As one descends deeper beneath the surface, the range of perceptible colors shifts considerably, and I ponder how the strata changes with it. The photographs are a picture in time, an effort to visualize light, space and color. In a flash, A Moment’s Flourish examines the strata, shades, and shadows of the underwater landscape.
