Artist’s Statement

There is a moment in every beach-bound surfer’s day when he or she first comes into sight of the surf. It can be a moment of exhilaration if the waves are up, or it can be utterly deflating if the surf is flat. Checking the Swells is an ode to this moment of truth. Here we have an expectant rider just coming within sight of the waves. Is it “surf’s up!” a “close out” or “mushy”? I’ll leave that to your imagination – or to your best surfing daydream.
