The landscape of the intertidal zone at Bean Hollow State Park is often strange and disorienting, otherworldly.  I wanted to go beneath the surface of the space depicted in these photographs to enter the image at the microscopic level.  The painted areas below the photographs represent a small detail taken from the image above, enlarged by 300-500% of the standard resolution.  Areas within the photographs are also expanded with painted details that disrupt the surface in another attempt to enter the image.
