DISSOLVING DIGITS (WELLS WEDNESDAY - Part 5)

Here we are in the last week of August 2018. That means Wells Wednesday is coming to a close. In case you missed any of the posts in the Wells of Renewal and Decay series, all of the previous posts are linked at the bottom of this page.

DROUGHT DEMONS (WELLS WEDNESDAY - Part 4)

In Wells Wednesday - Part 3, I shared the Mystic of the Well and Warrior of the Well images from the Wells of Renewal and Decay series. (You can find all of the Wells Wednesday posts linked below.)

This week, I want to share two related images from the series. These two images are from the same stock tank, and I think they illustrate my previous statement about the challenge of deciding where the story begins and ends. I finally decided that, in this case, there was a story within a story.

WARRIORS (WELLS WEDNESDAY - Part 3)

In Wells Wednesday - Part 2, I shared the Cruciform Abstraction image from the Wells of Renewal and Decay series. (You can find all of the Wells Wednesday posts linked below.) This week, I want to share another image from the series. Actually, it is two different images from two different wells, but they seem to have a similar theme, so I paired them up as a bonus.

CRUCIFORM ABSTRACTION (WELLS WEDNESDAY - Part 2)

In the first Wells Wednesday, I wrote a little bit about how the Wells of Renewal and Decay series emerged. This week, I want to begin sharing some of the images from the series, as well as their stories. So, let’s get started with “Cruciform Abstraction”.

WELLS WEDNESDAY INTRODUCTION

I have been working on a series of photos for a while now. And, when I say “a while”, what I really mean is years. I have vacillated between sharing the resulting images as a complete body of work, and not showing them at all. But, I have finally decided to stop toeing the line of my comfort and share a little bit about how this work evolved. When I have tried to describe the series to others, I am generally met with a blank stare, so I know the images are probably not going to resonate with everyone. However, this is what the muses gave me, and in order to complete this body of work - to complete this conversation, the work must be shared.
