 After quietly reviewing
this group of images before putting them up on line, I realized that there
are quite a number of unintentional environmental sculptures throughout
this set. It's interesting sometimes to reflect on what it is that
we think we are seeing when looking around.
The point of the calf
picture is, of course, the chain itself although the animal is actually
more intersting.
The most disturbing
image in this group (and I can't erase it from my mind) is the desecration
of a very beautiful church by the clergy and parisheners alike. An
archway, which once cupped an ornamental gate, is now shaded with a pull
down commercial security screen. This photo is innocuous looking
enough but it's content and meaning is very ominous. A statement
about our culture and where we are going with it.
