Driving around
17th January 2020
My photo collage "Windmill, Auvillar" is included in "The Architecture of Time" at the Boston Society of Architects (Jan 10-May 15) - scroll down. This is the second time this "driving" collage has been chosen for a show about architecture. I submitted other pieces with more traditional building environments.
For me, a car is a structure I can maneuver. We all look through windows in our homes or other buildings. Automobile windows are more essential for obvious reasons - and will usually reveal a landscape. The fun part is that the landscape appears to be moving as in cinematic capture. Driving is an enjoyable adventure of space in time.
"Untitled (Nantucket)" was shot in 2017. I had just finished a temporary driving ban due to a medically related accident and had been experiencing a fair amount of driving nerves. But upon arriving on Nantucket I immediately went off road.
