I enjoyed working with a group of wild horses this week.

This is a five foot wide commissioned piece by local artist Peter McFarlane. It needed to be shown as it might appear displayed on a wall. The piece includes a wooden cleat to help it lie flat and away from the wall. An interesting shadow is created when properly lit. This implies motion I think, and adds visual interest.

Like all of Peter’s pieces, this one is built from reused/recycled material. The circuit boards are lit so that the colour are true and the solder is alive but not shining.

I look forward to more photographic challenges like this—in the home-based studio space. During the long, dark, temperate rainforest winter. :-)
