I have always been fascinated by the subtlety and speed with which atmospheric conditions change, and the disappearance and reappearance of the horizon at sea. These seven intimately scaled images, photographed on medium format film, capture rapidly changing atmospheres arriving with dawn. The word Asgelatas, meaning The Radiant, is an epithet that is occasionally ascribed to the diety Apollo, but only ever in relation to monolith of marble, Mount Kalamos, that juts from the Aegean forming the western tip of the island of Anafi where it is believed an ancient healing cult devoted to Apollo once existed.
