Askov Finlayson: Freshwater

Askov Finlayson: Freshwater

Freshwater is a documentary that dives into the cold waters of Lake Superior along Minnesota’s North Shore. Despite the fact that it contains ten percent of Earth’s freshwater, this massive force of nature remains largely unexplored. One group of people, however, is intimately aware of its power. From the surfers who catch its waves to the scientists who study its depths, learn why Lake Superior is a precious resource that should never be taken for granted.

Rock Johnsen: The work I create explores duality.  Being a person of mixed race this is an idea that i have been perpetually confronted with.  In my work I’m looking to find a balance between two concepts or idea.  I use human anatomy and creatures to examine ideas of comfort with functional items.

I also create work that explore the links between chemistry and geology in ceramic glaze. I grow crystals on the surfaces of ceramics I enhance these crystals with rare earth elements to expand the way these ceramics interact with light.
