Photographer and multimedia artist Clifford Ross creates work that explores the sublime force of nature. Wave LXXXVII, part of Ross’s Hurricane Waves series, reflects his effort to create transformative art that conveys the magnitude of his subject. For this series, Ross captured the dramatic forms and movements of ocean waves by wading into the surf—while tethered to shore—during severe storms along the East Coast.
Ross earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Art and Art History from Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut; nearly two decades passed before he began working in photography and other media. Since then, he has expanded his practice to include new printing methods and technologies, among them digital photography, inkjet printing, and printing on wood. Ross continues to push the boundaries of the photographic medium, saying, “I am always looking for the fullest expression of my conception and will follow it past any sane point. Over and over again, invention is part of creativity.”
