Groovy, St. Bart’s, French West Indies, 2010

I used my frame to abstract this small boat, moored among the huge yachts that lined St. Bart’s harbor, and incongruously named “Groovy.” I use the three ropes to create diagonal leading lines to draw the eye through the frame. I also truncate the pier that leads towards the boat and stops abruptly just short of its stern, creating an anchor for the image. The image’s focal point revolves around the space between the pier and boat, a gap that energizes the frame with tension.
