Falling Water Series
White Water
| The
‘Falling Water’ series are artworks instigated by the
observation and study of waterfalls in Yorkshire. Areas of interest
included, fast moving white water, movement and patterns of water
and the underlying rock structure. The environment of rock and
trees was a secondary influence compared with the water and has
been negated in the work, the waterfall defining the underlying
structure.
In the second year of these ongoing studies the techniques I have developed to make a pliable tool utilising particle systems has enabled more time to be allocated to the abstract content of the work. A systematic approach was taken in this work, recreating the three dimension world in the computer system (moving water and the rock structure) and evolving various techniques to achieve the desired results. A particularly difficult area of exploration was the creation and shading of a moving water surface. Techniques of specific interest were: Control of the particles and noise functions; motion blur and lighting
