Industrial Man

This is a little different for me, even though it looks like my wall series.  That work is about finding and documenting uninteresting geometric urban creations of man made with elements of  glass, wood, steel, etc, and composing it for an elevated formal composition which lifts the image from the mundane. I went out today to reshoot this image in hopes of finding something added but it was all over painted.  Discovering that, I came up with the idea of adding layered images, (an industrial spring and my hand), to the earlier image of spray painting that I was thinking of.  This new collaboration, of sorts, is a self portrait that shows my hand is out stretched to the industrial machine for a trade of images for pay, which needs to occur monthly.
