As we mimic nature and separate the impurities like sludge or salt or chemicals, a transformation occurs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003eTemkin is less concerned with a structure’s use, or whether the water pictured is pure or waste. He is drawn instead to the strangeness of these forms and the distorted sense of scale. Moving beyond mere description, Temkin embraces the abstract and at times surreal landscape of water transformation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSource: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.radiusbooks.org\/all-books\/p\/brad-temkin-the-state-of-water?srsltid=AfmBOor15Lg_xhruV9OtFgE8SwpVNQe5OhBPhvmEKmm_wqdSx6WIUPmQ\"\u003eradiusbooks.org\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stephen Daiter Gallery","offers":[{"title":"Signed","offer_id":46775226433766,"sku":null,"price":70.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0767\/7647\/2806\/files\/Temkin_StateofWater.jpg?v=1761160791"},{"product_id":"temkin-book-rooftop","title":"Temkin, Rooftop","description":"\u003cp class=\"\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eRooftop\u003c\/em\u003e draws poetic attention to a significant new movement which counters the heat-island effect afflicting cities across the globe.
