Through Nederveen's process, a two-fold mirroring takes place: the paint material adopting the qualities of water as fine sprays and heavy pours; and, textured pools obfuscate the underlying image. The artist's hand, too, becomes the means through which the momentum of the wave is enacted, its force wearing away at the photographic emulsion even as it builds up the artwork surface.
Nederveen's keen engagement with the varied forms of his subject matter recalls the ubiquity of meditations on water and reveals the endlessly evocative potential of this imagery. Whether articulated in swirling eddies, sculptural crests or crashing falls, each composition captures a singular moment that encompasses a rhythm of perpetual motion, a still image patterned after infinity.
