Dedicated surfers know the feeling of sitting in the lineup staring hopefully at the horizon, scanning the distant oceanic bumps for a potential set. When the lulls are long, it’s easy to become mesmerized by as the sea and sky blend into one—an ever-changing gradient that never shows the same color, mood, or texture twice. It’s this fixation that artist, photographer, and longtime professional surfer Daniel Fuller turns his attention to with upcoming book Liquid Horizon: Meditations on the Surf and Sea, available 16 February from Rizzoli (preorders open now).
The Hawaii-born artist’s work isn’t your average high resolution, postcard perfect images of placid seas—or barreling cover shots. Fuller takes a more abstract approach, working within the confines of the horizon itself.
