About the Book
The images in this body of work are based on cloud and wave photos. Outlines, tracings, maps, and diagrams are layered over the images in a way analogous to how we interpret, map and analyze our environment. Throughout the surface, fragments float into focus and then recede as the eye moves on to other elements.
The work reflects a world where nothing is solid or permanent. It’s our act of perception that brings elements into being and dissolves them again. What we see in the world is not what is 'objectively' out there; most of it is a projection of ideas that we've formed or learned.
These pieces are an exercise in self awareness of the assumptions and presuppositions that one inevitably carries around. It may be impossible to see the world as it truly and fully is, but it's easy to fool yourself into thinking that you can.

About the Creator
Mikael Sandblom
Canada
Mikael Sandblom sees his body of work as a series of experiments, exploring the expressive potential of various materials and techniques. Clouds, waves, and cityscapes are often the subject matter of his work. By presenting ordinary things in new ways, Sandblom tries to see them with fresh eyes; to see the beauty and complexity that we have often stopped noticing.
