My new work represents the continuation of a subject of mine of the last several years (people on beaches). I am interested in, and impressed by, the presence of people at the beach. It represents play, rest, leisure and pleasure. It’s a wonderful thing to bear witness to, given all the grief, strife and hardship of the lives of so many people on earth. We are living in a time of great uncertainty. When I see people on the beach no matter who they are, their spirits seem lifted. They are playing or observing others playing.
