WAVE

The radiance of colliding waves and ocean treasures

 The swell of the sea, its rhythmical waves and stormy surge inspires the articulated, concave formations of the Waves series from the 1990s. Stones sit atop rings like a crimson sunset reflected in the surface or as if carried by the current. Their symbolism is undeniable: the dynamic, tempestuous ocean mirrors the ever-changing human condition and fascination with transformation found across Griegst’s work.
