We have the polarity of what we see and the allusion to what we don't see. Sidestepping the semantic slope that slips from "seeing'" to then "understanding," there is that strata here layering the textual versus the visual, words/letters and that teeter-totter with images. MO/TEL, courtesy of the backslash pole, calling up MOTOR HOTEL. A roadside hotel for motoring guests. We aren't going to stop at the Bates Motel, but there is still something very black-and-white Hitchcockian about the tonality of Phil's MO/TEL that leads us up the pole, out of frame, intriguing. What does the pole posit? An announcement, a command, an advertisement, or plainly just another visual image (at the mercy of gravity pulling it askew)? Is it one in a series of anemic power line poles? It's the confounding absence that intrigues with its absence confounding. MO/TEL segues to a symphony (Bernard Herrmann) of MOTORS, car engines humming, prompted by the word motor and all that it conjures as noun, adjective, or verb. And we cannot avoid the play of space in square format, so casually disarmed from the symmetrical composition by an emphatically slicing pole just a whisker off-center. Thank you so much Rog for your kind and generous thoughts on this picture which I have decided to rename "mo\tel". I am glad you picked up on the Hitchcock-ness of it as it was something that occurred to me at the time. One of those instances where I initially walked straight past, then retraced my steps and unpacked the camera once the mind had caught up with what I'd seen. As for the pole, it is just a pole - it holds up nothing and seems to have no purpose whatsoever. Just my kind of pole! 18 minutes ago, Ernest said: Sliding Tele-Rolleiflex Portra 800 Welcome, dear visitor!

The left side - even though our rational mind identifies it as composed of something "hard", we can contextually perceive as flfloating, soft - ephemeral even with its Rothko-esque ochre set against that assertive cadmium yellow woodwork, set - grounded - against cold, hard concrete to the right. In the centre the work is split, Barnett Newman-like, by what appears to be a length of metal in crimson. Things from the real world made art - communicating - with the interplay of an attentive vision, imagination and a thorough understanding of materials. The juxtapositional effect is graphically mesmerizing and generously repays closer attention. 3 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was lucky to get this photo. I saw that there was no one at the base of the tower so I snuck in there and took a few photos before a guard threw me out. 🙂 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would it be queer to query the quarry in the quarry? This is getting very Tarkovsky, so you need to put everyone on a "need-to-know" status, since it would be safe to assume that no one needs to know. It's all too frightening in the Pandemic Pit. 1 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
