Thomas Joshua Cooper
Diamond Rock, the River Findhorn, Morayshire
About this artwork
This image is from a series devoted to Scottish rivers, from the Findhorn to the Clyde. For Cooper what he feels about a place is far more important than what he knows about a place. The rock in this picture is a solitary solid object enveloped by darkness upon which are inscribed precise streaks of light to suggest the river flow.
