Abstract, Fort Worden #117

Fort Worden -- a long-ago decommissioned World War I defensive battery on the western edge of Puget Sound -- is now a state park. The park rangers paint the miles of concrete walls in the bunkers in order to cover the graffiti left there by inconsiderate tourists.
I find the paint splatters and shapes make the most fascinating abstracts. They are often reminiscent of Japanese calligraphy. The various colors of paint make transition into black and white a palette with almost unlimited possibilities.
These four images were photographed in late May 2005 and are part of a larger body of work that is still in progress. When completed, my work with the Fort Worden abstracts will likely number a couple of hundred images.
