The Weather Series
Seth Flaum created the weather series starting with his fascination with how we depend on our phone weather apps to keep us informed in our daily lives and particularly as we experience extreme conditions regularly. Seth's digital paintings are visceral responses to place, condition and emotional reaction to how we all live within these conditions.
