HC - V2: Submerged Echo - drawing series

HC-V3: Submerged Echo drawing series is an ongoing collection of drawings that are connected to my ongoing Submerged Echo project which is inspired by the work of scientists studying a hidden crater in the Chesapeake Bay. Remains of this crater, hidden beneath layers of sediment, was discovered when a few curious scientists gathered information from companies and organizations that had been drilling in this area for many years. While gathering this and other data, scientists were able to create a map of the shape and depth of what this crater could look like. From 2009 to the present, the map these scientists created has been the source of the sculptural forms that I made in wood and concrete, then photographed in different light sources, and collage together into a series of video animations that in turn have inspired the ink drawings and rub drawings. I am intrigued by the fact that the discovery was more of a surprise then the result of a direct search, and fascinated that the shape of this Crater which is estimated to be 50 miles in diameter looks quite similar to the image of a fossil of a nautilus which is 5 inches in diameter, which was the subject of a series of work I created in the late 80’s. In both projects, the embryonic imagery is a reminder of the basic cycle of life that we can find all around us.
