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.

Sunset over Mono lake, Ca

While driving north on hwy 395 I took this photo of a sunset looking east. It became the basis of some of my work.  The blurred landscape and streaked sky was engaging and I had to try and capture this moment in time. I have shown it to some and they don't see what I see in it. This is why I think we all see things differently, I'm glad for the differences.

I had just spent the entire day creating works of art, then it struck me.  The day was ending, there was no wind, no rain nor clouds. I had just been down to the river a few days ago and found it swollen from snow melt and I was tired. I gathered some art together and made the short drive to the rivers edge. With little time to set up I eased the art into the frigid water
