Obstruction: Restriction

I'm back. Sorry for the missing days lately, much ado about many things. Lots of work, family events and summer stuff. I've noticed a lot of barriers and obstructions in my work recently, so this week is obstruction week. It seems a good theme since I was obstructed from posting yesterday: the hotel I was at in Grand Rapids, MN didn't have internet. This photo was taken from the window of my friend Lynne's art studio in Lowertown St. Paul. It's on the eighth floor of a warehouse and looks out to the North. The building across the street was converted into a parking garage. Her window is that security glass with chicken wire cast into it. I liked the idea of the window being so prominent in the image, it really wants to keep you in. The obstruction makes you look around it and even move your head around trying to see around it. The framing and the chicken wire also mimic the rhythm and composition of the parking ramp. Tomorrow Obstruction: Distortion
