Silken Surge – Acrylic Print

Description

The delicate interplay of water and rock is masterfully captured in “Silken Surge.” Matt Johnston transports viewers to the serene and dramatic coasts of Beavertail State Park in Jamestown, Rhode Island, with a photograph that transcends time.

In this image, the eternal dance of water against rock becomes an ephemeral whisper, as the long exposure transforms the crashing waves into a soft, ethereal mist. This ghostly veil of water envelops the rocks, blurring the lines between the liquid and the solid. The rocks stand firm, their textured surfaces highlighted by the ambient light, showing the battle scars from eons of confronting the ocean’s might.

Johnston’s choice of a long exposure not only showcases the movement of water but also instills a sense of tranquility. It’s a reminder of the fleeting moments in nature and life, where beauty can be found in the transient and the enduring alike. “Silken Surge” invites viewers to contemplate the passage of time and the eternal beauty of nature’s dance. It’s a serene yet powerful representation of the timeless relationship between the earth and the sea.
