TITLE: The Plastic Sea

Bubbled layers of clear plastic tape over a window hole exposed to the elements provided images that reminded me of ocean pollution, kelp, fish and floating bags.

AUTHOR: George Meier (Canada)

I am a retired Minister in The United Church of Canada and live in the mountains of rural southeastern British Columbia with my wife, Rev Dr. Therese DesCamp.

The pandemic and retirement afforded time to undertake digital photography, particularly black and white. My photography has been guided by a line from Norman Maclean’s book, "A River Runs Through It", in which a character states: “All there is to thinking . . . is seeing something noticeable which makes you see something you weren’t noticing which makes you see something that isn’t even visible.” My work seeks to offer a passageway to seeing something that isn't even visible. My photography has appeared in "The Sun Magazine" and in the book, "Hands Like Roots: Notes on an Entangled Contemplative Life."
