    the waves would welcome it beneath the sea (rock frottage studies) | 2014

I traveled to Ireland to search for the sublime feeling of both beauty and fear that comes with standing on the edge of a cliff, overlooking something. I wanted to investigate geo-cultural patterns and phenomena within the landscape. To prove that these coincidental patterns exist, I made rubbings of the rocks along the coast of Nohoval Cove while also photographing the cliffs and rocks. By chance, the rock rubbings echoed the photographs I took and vise versa.
