Light Waves—Abstract Photographs of Reflections from Lake Superior

Grand Portage National Monument

Special Event
  • Sep 9, 2023 at 1:00 PM
  • Free

Craig Blacklock's most recent body of work, Light Waves, is a series of images isolating the complex mirror of Lake Superior’s surface, producing a purely abstract representation of the palette and textures lying outside of the frame. In the same ways the barely recognizable melodic fragments of a jazz interpretation reference the original song, these images derive their structure from and pay homage to the landscape and the freshwater it is reflected in. 

Craig Blacklock is a fiscal year 2023 recipient of a Creative Support for Individuals grant from the Minnesota State Arts Board. This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Minnesota State Arts Board, thanks to a legislative appropriation by the Minnesota State Legislature; and by a grant form the National Endowment for the Arts.
