Blowing & caught; wafting & swirling; ever present, never twice the same.

Apologies to Robert Irwin, an artist whose granite marker, inscribed with the phrase,
EVER PRESENT
NEVER TWICE
THE SAME
was part of an installation on the grounds of Wave Hill, a New York City public garden where I worked in 1987.
Very effective interpretation – particularly the first and the last.

These are just gorgeous . I love the barbed wire washing line best
Very cool.

Thanks – I have a series of those – Ive a fondness for things caught and blowing, especially in an offhand way, if that makes sense.

You make the plastic look so elegant, love it.

Good! Thank you very much. It was like a sculpture, that piece of plastic, caught on branches in the back of parking lot.

I can’t say for sure, of course, but I don’t think Mr. Irwin would object…. I like what you’ve done with it…and do especially enjoy the laundry on the barbed wire….

Thank you – I’m glad you like that one – it’s just rags, and the fence is along a field far from “anywhere”, and I see the same thing now and again: rags tied to a fence. To keep cattle from accidentally bumping into the barbed wire? Don’t know, but I love the way it looks.

You’re welcome…and yes, I rather enjoy the rags being there, whatever the reason…far from “anywhere.”

Great captures of movement! I adore the second photo.

Oh I’m glad – thank you.

At first glance that second image looks like delicate fabric on a clothesline – but then you notice the barbed wire.
It’s very beautiful but also makes a deeper statement.

Yes – a contrast, the barbed wire and softly blowing rags. I’m glad you took the time to scroll back, and then to comment. These are some of the photos I care most about, so thank you very much!
