"Campbell returns to ocean imagery – one of his favorite, rhythmic motifs – but composes the image using color instead of movement alone. By adding the element of color, he’s able to make a readable image at the lowest possible resolution, exploring how little information a viewer requires to form a complete idea. And in a masterstroke of technical facility, the frame, imperceptibly slowly, zooms in and out to several “details” of the image during the course of an approximately 45 minute loop. As you “get closer” to the waves, they become more abstract. As you get further away, they become decipherable. For Campbell, this work is a metaphor for our ability to perceive meaning being based not only on the information we receive, but also the perspective from which we view it."-Hosfelt Gallery
