Rog, embarking on your pieces is alway a journey with an open end. I love the suggestions you make as an entry, then surfing along the many connotations that may arise,  I'm  thrown in   a sea ( see ? 😁) of uncertain return. In this case,  " Splash " generates 9 different meanings in my reference...Not in this reference is the perhaps most important one: of course David Hockney´s "The Splash"  But no pale californian blue or  frolicking here, but a red of the quality that smells of blood. ... Rog, you once wrote in a commentary some thousand pages earlier, that the artist doesn't need to get explicit, the art will tell anyway. I think I got you. 

Your construction, ". . . smells of blood . . .",  always the province of scarlet, which has many meanings and associations. My titling of "splash" is not the fresh Southern California pool of Hockney's modernist backyard, but the flecks of mud that I could say call to mind Galileo's rendering of sunspots that caused a stir in the Vatican for having suggested by his telescopic observation the sun was imperfect. Such a notion is, of course, fanciful. The splattering flecks of raw sienna on the cad red gives the steel panels history, character, at least. I like the notion of a two-dimensional surface that registers initially as a simple color field from a distance but on closer viewing reveals itself as a real surface, not abstracted. Then, there are the footnotes of subtle rivets and screws that call up reality. My initial challenge in this collage of six images was to limit the palette to basically one color, very monochromatic. No complementary notes, which is where I took the orchestra in the other collage I posted, Flash One, primarily all steel surfaces. Thanks for tapping the bell for Hockney and his vibrant colorist re-visioning. I saw his major exhibition at LACMA in 2018, always energetic memory.

Those light burns always look so intriguing and there are even Flickr and Instagram groups dedicated to them. But rarely, it seems to me, are they integrated into the story of the photograph, like here. It's really excellent Rog. Is that the door of a lift going up to, or perhaps down to, the stage? The building is imploding evidently, but very politely and orderly so from camera left, and the fire is drawing nearer consuming everything in it's path. If only we'd make it to safety in the lift. Because we'd be safe there, right? Just like one is when taking a shower when hunted by a knife-wielding madman.

 

I am always intrigued by your readings. You point out "safety in the lift," but this is just another disaster site that Hitchcock would certainly exploit. I applaud your cinema sense, coming to this play of color and dark places. It's the residue of habitation, the smudges on the walls. Evidence of a past tense, and in the background, framing the lifelessness of the foreground, is that all consuming crimson. It's a color field that rises to nightmare, but it's only color. It's the connotations that ring calamity.

I love the warm sand between my toes as I snap this one without worrying about sunburn. I can hear the faint lapping of surf on the beach and the laughter of kids playing in the water with inflatable rafts. I always wanted to be "invisible & non-greasy." Invariably, a photograph is past tense preserved, but this is future tense imagined.
