Alexandria Searls gives us a fish’s perspective, using her underwater camera to capture, from below, the wayfaring leaves, feathers, seed pods and other chance floating travelers of our local waterways. Altering the viewer’s sense of reality through the aqueous medium via an upward trained lens, unexpected water and light patterns, suspended particulate, and drifting elements of nature caught in moving current and surface tension are captured. Occasionally Searls’ shots absorb the skies beyond the water’s surface in a luminous aureole, or silhouette the shadowy form of a low hanging tree.
