“Rest Ashored” (2000) by Shayne Higson, is a Cibachrome print. “Rest Ashored” Depicts a misty ocean scape, where soft hazy waves lap against the rugged satin black rocks lining the waters edge to the right of the image. These soft textured waves have seemingly washed up a water logged and broken down item of clothing which appears to be made out of an old newspaper.
The eerie soft misty tones of the ocean lapping against he contrastingly cold ragged texture of the sharp rocks, creates a sense of paradox and mystery between these converging forms. Where by the sweet rays of warm and softly colored light streaming from the top right of the image only add to the confusion this image presents us as the viewer.
