Fence and Wall

One thing I was looking for on this trip was back plates for additional images in my Word series, so I took lots of pictures of walls and architecture, not all so fascinating, but you may see them again if they do become backgrounds to future creations.

Construction

I shot this looking out the window because I liked the geometry of it. The men were about to dig up a lot of the brick so they could lay some conduit along the base of the building, then cover it all up again. I thought of it as a black and white image at the time because of the strong shadows and the triangle formed by the two men and the circle of conduit in the lower left.
Lyme Regis – Architecture and Shape



That same evening (as the last 3 posts, May 15th) we walked down a steep hill from our AirBnB into the town for dinner and I snapped a few shots of buildings where the contrasty lines and shapes struck me. Click any image to see them all enlarged to full size.

Margate: Places, Spaces, Heterotopia I









We arrived in Margate the first week of April, well out of the season so it was really empty, especially in the morning.
In my course we studied the difference between images and pictures, things and objects, spaces and places; where the first item in each pair merely is, whereas the latter has some human significance or meaning.
A heterotopia, again according to Wikipedia, is a concept elaborated by philosopher Michel Foucault to describe certain cultural, institutional and discursive spaces that are somehow ‘other’: disturbing, intense, incompatible, contradictory or transforming. Heterotopias are worlds within worlds, mirroring and yet upsetting what is outside. In my limited experience of reading about heterotopia, the term is extremely elastic, not to say nebulous, in the way it’s thrown about in art criticism.

Meadowlands, UK?
My last show in NY (pre-pandemic) and the images I showed at the Lightbox here in Woking were beautiful landscapes in New Jersey’s Meadowlands, interpenetrated by the detritus of human industry. On our walk a few weeks ago, we saw something similar as we passed a sand quarry, right here in Farnham. (Click any image to see them all enlarged.)

Traces


Farnham
The other day I posted a picture I called Traces. Here are some more examples. Photos at the second degree, they are traces of the traces left by shadows.
