It is testimony to the power of photography that one can contemplate one of Clifford Ross’s “Hurricane” images and see a thundering wave stopped cold, spray and spume arrested in mid-flight, its fluid power trumped without so much as a molecule deflected from its path. The project Ross designates “Wave Music” is, in his view, “a meditation on the medium of photography as much as a photographic reflection of our world.”
—Arthur C. Danto in Blind Spot/Aperture 2005 on Clifford Ross
