Artist/designer, Chris Hammond, connects with nature by using a kayak to get in close to his shallow water subjects. In this artist's book, Chris presents a small portfolio of sketches, drawings, and digital printmaking that represents a unique interpretation of the waterway landscape below the surface. Working from a platform kayak, the artist uses an underwater viewing tube to see below and sketch nature scenes and aquascapes. Later on, in his digital printmaking studio, Chris draws on his fieldwork as a starting point for further exploration of aquascape images as digital art. Illustrations depict innovative features, seating arrangements, and special equipment on board the kayak that enhance the creative experience. More illustrations show the artist at work in his kayak using the view tube. In a few of his short essays, Chris comments on the importance of curiosity and other topics related to the creative process. Also, he shares his perspective on why the river, kayaking, and making art blend in such an inspiring way.
