He is passionate about his art and how he creates. the roots of Jack Durnford's art stems from the use of non-traditional art materials reflecting a world closely related to industrial and architectural references. The literal aspect of the work engages a dialogue of what is found and seen in nature. the artist uses construction  materials in non-traditional ways to reflect and refract light which will not sit still. The art becomes a playground allowing light to temporarily dance across the surface, allowing the viewer to witness a stunning ephemeral moment. With nature being a driving force within his art.Now has begun to use different bodies of water as a temporary gallery for displaying his art.

"Seldom Seen" art Tour

Hot Spring in the Owens River valley. I had found several hot springs in this valley some well known others not so well known. This one is very special as it has a wonderful view of Mammoth Mountain as you sit in the pool. I enjoyed this view for 3 hours this day.

"Seldom Seen" art Tour

I drove up to Upper Twin lakes in the mammoth lakes basin for this shot. I could not drive all the way up to Horseshoe lake as the road is still covered by snow. This art has certainly seen some water this past week.

Seldom Seen

As my on going experiences with floating my art I find that it is truly a thing of beauty. When I begin to prepare each piece there is a sense of serenity, all movements seem to be in slow motion. Only the occasional sound of a fish jumping or Kingfisher breaking the stillness of the moment. I cannot believe this is meant for me alone.
