The relationship between humans and the natural world has been depicted photographically in myriad ways: both are seen as monumental forms and as oppositional forces and partners on an unknown journey. In his body of photographic work and monograph of the same name, photographer Cliff Watts considers Wood Water & Rock a collaboration between myself and six willing friends who volunteered to go through extreme heat, freezing cold and various uncomfortable conditions.”
Wood Water & Rock shows the contrast of form between the human nude against the textures of rock, grass, sand, wood and water. It is a meditation on the beauty of nature and the human form- and the ways in which both can disappear into each other creating a new visual landscape.
