murk

for the artist challenge

Amongst other telling subjects David Hoffman takes photos of pollution as activism, to make a statement about environmental issues. So I went looking for some. There were some brown gobs floating down the creek today, there are sewerage ponds upstream .......but 1 +1 doesn't necessarily add up to what you may think, I hope it was just clumps of scungy algae! Made a good photo with the alternate moving reflections of the sky and the bridge above. I think I uploaded this a bit small even on magnify its a bit hard to see the gobs lol

Very cool idea and shot. I love the framing too.

@edie thanks Edie :) I loved all the bird shapes appearing in these

[Stephanie Swift]

Great idea, and I like the processing and framing.

makes for an interesting abstract... nicely done!

[Wynne]

I like it - especially the slight brown tones

[Yao RL]

I can sit here forever to decipher the patters, I saw spoon, hat, bird and guess what , a toilet bowl. If I were you I will enlarge it and hang up on the wall - not in the bedroom though, I shall stare at it forever.

@yaorenliu fascinating, thankyou :)

Who'd imagine that murk could look so good. Looks like art.

i like that this isnt trite. its a great triptych that seems rather abstract and powerful, but it doesnt feel like the whole point is to bludgeon someone about an issue, and i find that more helpful and relevant in activist-ish art than people coming after you with an ax, even a very beautiful, artistically created ax.

@wynne yes unusual for me to like brown but it is a rich colour here, :)

[kali]

@writingdays Thankyou Rohini, I try :)

@ubiquitybutsomewhatdownsized I find myself looking forward to your comments. sometimes a blunt axe is called for, but I get your drift

[Maggie]

Lovely triptych - cleverly framed to make a very smart work of art.

@snaphappi thankyou Maggie, much appreciated

[Amrita]

Cool creativity with awareness!
