The Fence

I’ve mentioned a few times that my structures series was inspired by a picture of my dad’s fence taken back in 2000. This it that image – I was hunting through my pictures recently looking for something else and came across it.

The motif in the Structures series is an E shape based on the top prongs of this fence. The fence is about boundaries – both physical but also emotional. Fences keep us safe. They keep others out. They define us and hide us. I doubt I’ll ever get tired of exploring both their physical properties and their emotional impact.
