When an artist puts brush to palette, composer takes up pen and paper, sculptor places chisel to stone, pre-visualized fictions that exist in their imaginations begin to emerge into the non-fiction world that can be shared with others.

The images in this project were generated from my imagination: they are creative or “artistic fictions.” Now that they exist in the world they’ve become nonfiction.

These images are all installations of my work with dancers and models underwater. Most have been published in these three books:

H2O
Pool Light
Water Dance
