Daniel Ehrenworth Work from Sky / Water. “Sky/Water is a series of black and white inkjet prints which butt together a separate shot of the sky and the water to form a fake horizon. In addition to being a tonal study, the work is about that act of thinking.” – courtest of the artist. Related […]

Kim Beck
