About The Work
Clifford Ross's Hurricane series captures tumultuous ocean waves shot by the artist in the water while tethered to an assistant on land. Ross says, "Why waves and hurricanes? They're bigger than me. Nature is bigger than me…Ultimately I realized that I was reflecting on memories from my childhood, being slammed by the waves off Long Island when I was body surfing. To some extent, there's a notion that when you take a picture, you have codified and controlled an event. So photographing the sea during a storm echoes certain childhood experiences from a safer perspective, from a position of relative control." Seventy percent of the proceeds from this sale will benefit charity: water, a non-profit organization bringing clean and safe drinking water to people in developing nations.
