Blue Skies, Brown Earth, Green Leaves; Overlay of Rusted Iron Plate and Chipped Green Wall (Single)
DESCRIPTION
“Blue Skies, Brown Earth, Green Leaves” contemplates the infinite and cyclical nature of beauty and being. The image is an overlay of two photographs—one of a rusted iron plate, the other of an old wall with chipped green paint. The elements within the composition have been transformed, their textures and forms manipulated to more fully express the protean nature of their being. In their decay and renewal, they echo the ever-changing nature and beauty of all things.
