The basis for this work is street furniture that cannot be recognised at a glance. The abstract part of this work is with a specific feature that is not likely to be seen when passing by.
The play of lines and shades in the material with the snippets of letters in it are reminiscent of an abstract work by a painter.
The work was inspired by a photo assignment "abstraction" from a collaboration with fellow photographers.
This particular work inspired me to start making more work in this style, creating a series where surprising elements make everyday objects visible.
The photo was taken with a 100 mm macro lens on a full frame camera, the nuance in one shade of grey allows this work to be shown within any interior.
