Bubble | Katherine Knight
2000
15.5 x 15 inches (24 x 23 inches framed)
Edition of 30
ABOUT THE ARTWORK
This image is part of Knight’s “Bubble” series. Each photograph in the series was taken during the lull just before a summer storm, when the humidity hangs thickly in the air and the water and sky are eerily calm. The series is part of Knight’s broader project to photograph air, which is invisible except for its material presence on the things it touches. The bubble is a visible marker for air as well as a metaphor for transience and change. As she has said, “The bubble is the confluence of air and water at a tender moment that signals unavoidable, impending change.”
