Flight

My harmonious flight image is pre Photoshop (c1988, when I had opened

my darkroom), created by enlarging two negatives, one of the sky, the

other of a violin printed 13 times in different positions on the photographic

paper under the easel. The original holds more detail than my early digital

copy of the final print.

Arthur, Migratory birds have an impact on our imagination. You did it with violins. In one of my sculptures I used horseshoes to get this impression.

Marco, earlier today, when my internet was actually functional, I went to your sculpture website. Werken I sculptures were a revelation in the lightness and expressiveness potential of the medium. My appetite wasn't lessened in the following portfolios of your sculptures. Beautiful art and a place to return to, as for your photos. I was listening to the British composer Vaughan-Williams ("The lark ascending") when I decided to take an old fiddler's violin, photograph it and combine it with a sky negative. I imagine a flying horseshoe sculpture would be equally (and I hope you don't mind the word) extravagant.  

Arthur, Thank you for visiting my sculpture site. I am glad with your observations. In the last ten years I made more than 200 sculptures. On the site I show only a small selection.

Arthur, I posted a photo of my sculpture illustrating the flight with horseshoes. Best regards.

Marco, that is an impressive creation and photo of it in your recent uploads. Best regards, Arthur
