Rising Tide, Shifting Sand: A Chronicle of Change in Texas | Ansen Seale

January 12 - March 10, 2024

H-E-B Gallery

Reception Saturday, January 13, 5-7pm




Running January 12, 2024, through March 10, 2024, Rising Tide, Shifting Sand: A Chronicle of Change in Texas showcases images of landscapes and seascapes in a way that sets him apart from his peers.

Known for crafting his own cameras and other inventions, Seale used his distinctive slit-scan digital camera to capture and create scenes by swapping the horizontal dimension of the photo for the dimension of time, revealing a hidden reality and challenging conventional perceptions of the world.

Seale's distinctive photographic vision will immerse viewers in the natural beauty and essence of  Texas.  The show invites guests into a world where the boundaries between observer and environment dissolve, including a standout larger-than-life 14 ft. X 36 ft. mural. Also adding to the experience is a 13-foot pendulum-powered "moon clock" strategically placed in the center of the gallery, echoing the rhythmic dance of the tides and serving as a metaphor for the constant ebb and flow of life.

Featured in the H-E-B Gallery, "Rising Tide, Shifting Sand: A Chronicle of Change in Texas” will be on view and available for collection Jan. 12–March 10, 2024. A reception with Seale will be held on Saturday, Jan. 13, from 5–7 p.m. to officially launch the show. The reception will coincide with the monthly Austin Street Art Walk.
