Message
A paper cut design, here rendered as an edge lit acrylic piece, draws its inspiration from a photograph, used with kind permission, by photographer Vince Hemingson. This two layered piece explores the changeability of water. The LED lights provide reflection and change of mood as daytime light progresses into evening and finally nighttime. "The Swimmer" captures the multi faceted reflections seen in water. The stippling overlies the underwater broken-up-lines. The piece is held in a wood frame made of red oak.
