Ocean Rising II features Full Moon Distant Lights by Cynthia Woehrle
Artist statement for the exhibited work:
Statement for the work: The moon casts a glow activating the clouds in the night sky above a coastline marked by man; a jetty, streetlights, waterfront homes and businesses speckle light along the water. As humans we are predisposed to see this as a peaceful scene; one we have built to seek restorative inner calm. Yet there is a precariousness in the development of the coastline. I invite the viewer to ponder, what would you do if this scene was in your hometown, and each new storm washed away the roads?
