THE CHURN COLLECTION:
Breaking the barriers of Abstract Expressionist Photography, the photos within the Churn Collection were taken during a 40 year storm that struck the Pacific Northwest Coast. Jason, captured these images over a 3 day period, during the storm's height, at a location called 'The Devil's Churn'. The area got its name from pioneers who frist witnessed that the unique geological formation of the rock comprising 'The Churn' turned giant Northern Pacific waves into pure white foam. Wave heights during the storm exceeded 40 feet. Winds reached over 90 MPH. This event brought together the vital elements that inspired photographer Jason Lawrence Olive to create the collection. Jason, has been photographing in Oregon for over 15 years, capturing its breathtaking beauty with his unique eye and vision. The Churn Collection is part of his ongoing Oregon Coast Series. The Churn Collection represents the evolution of Jason's passion to create fine art from unadulterated/un-photoshopped* natural elements. It has twice been named as one of the world's top 20 Ermerging Works of Photogrpahy by Photo LA.
