My Waves and Skies artworks combine three images into each piece: a water wave image, and two skies. The water surface image is converted to a vertical line pattern, and the skies are then displayed in each alternating line of that pattern.
The result is an integrated image. As a viewer, I can see still make out the water pattern and both skies, but I have to concentrate! I can only see one thing at a time. As I follow the water wave pattern, my perception of the skies fade. If I focus one one set of clouds, I can’t see the waves or the other clouds. My minds eye flips from one image to the next. I notice how my perception is being constructed by my attention!
