Bryan Graf, "Surf Point," archival pigment print on Ilford lustre paper, 11 x 8.5 in, $250

Artist Statement

This photo was made from the view outside my studio facing the Atlantic Ocean while an Artist-in-Residence at Surf Point in 2019. I suspended a transparency photogram that resembled the ocean tide over part of the sliding glass door, and would photograph through it when the ocean light and tide blended through the material.
