fire topiary

Many ideas and images came to mind for my turn at the Daily Photo Game. Fire, burned forests, flames, fire-lookouts, firemen, and various patterns that emulated Robert’s triptych image, including various plays on the number 3. My interest in art lies in concept and this image spoke to that vocabulary more than any other. Objectifying the word fire, spelled out in a lush green hedge, this image has a quality of irony that suited my fascination of where I would take the Game’s conversation. With all the fire’s burning in the Northwest this year, the image nods to that tragedy as well.
