His
photograph of an exceptional octopus appeared on the cover
of Ocean Realm in 2001 and he edited--with Ned
DeLoach--the memoirs of pioneering diver Stan Waterman in
2005. In an effort to interest more artists and divers in
the aesthetics of the undersea world, he taught the
Ocean Seminar at Alfred University in 2001 and at the
GAS Conference in Corning, NY in 2009.
His
article: Aesthetic Lessons from Below the Surface
appears in the March, 2010 issue of Glass
magazine. It’s an exploration of aesthetics as influenced
by his experiences underwater: mimicry, reticulate
evolution, the benefits of a diverse ecosystem, and a
suggestion for a new form of art criticism.
