The shot is intriguing because it is ambiguous - which is shadow, which is the real structure! And the neon touch of light is what gives it the drama of internal mystery.
I am an artist and my new endeavor, this blog, is my latest attempt at communicating visually. My friend and fellow artist, Margaret Gosden, is my inspiration. Do check out her blog at http://margaretgosden2.blogspot.com and you will see why I want to do this.
I work in several media. My formal training was in etching but I paint, I sculpt in clay, I draw. My best work, in my opinion, results from deeply felt emotions and I have flat files of unsold (but shown) works resulting from my reactions to difficult themes: Hiroshima, the rape of my good friend's daughter, my mother's death, 9/11, my lover's emaciated body before he died. I work through my distress by managing it on paper and canvas.
I take vacations from the angst and make images that sometimes people want to hang on their walls. So I am not a totally starving artist.
I will turn 70 in June and I can't believe it. What happened? I feel 40, at the oldest, and hope that is how I present myself. I try to keep an open mind, try to accept what comes, try to be kind.
I look forward to joining a conversation with other bloggers and learn from them.
Intriguing darkness in these photos! Looks like a great scene for a Gothic novel!
