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. :-)
I love Peter’s work, thanks for sharing this. Probably would never have a chance to see it–and see it so perfectly photographed!
Often Peter’s work is here for an hour or two and then off on a truck to somewhere far away…
