“Art is not what you see, but what you make others see." – Edgar Degas

The Story

What you see is not sand shaped by the tide, nor ripples formed by a shifting current. ‘Ripple Lines’ is a reflection—an illusion created by water’s ever-changing canvas.

This artwork captures the distorted image of a cloth draped over the side of a vessel, its folds and textures reshaped by the dance of light and movement on the water’s surface. The lines ripple like patterns in the sand, yet they exist only in the transient moment of reflection.

I am fascinated by how water transforms the ordinary into abstraction, making us question what we perceive. ‘Ripple Lines’ is a reminder that what we see is not always what it seems—that beauty often lies in the unexpected.

About the Aerial & Earth Collection

Aerial & Earth explores the earth from perspectives that reveal its grandeur, structure and delicate complexity. Whether viewed from above or experienced at ground level, these works highlight the natural patterns, colours and forms that shape our world. The collection invites a sense of scale and stillness, offering vistas that are both grounding and expansive — an intimate dialogue between land, light and distance.

Background to Ralph Kerle's Art

Each work consists of abstractions found in reflections on the surface of water. The images are not photo-shopped or artificially created. They are images nature has created at a moment in time and exist in reality..  There is no right or wrong way to view the work. Each piece is designed for viewers to form their own meaning through the image's shape, colour and form. The works purpose is to encourage pleasurable aesthetic mediation and connection.
