This is an idea that has been percolating for a couple of weeks. Its an abstract of an installation piece by Patrick Dougherty. His own work is found at www.stickwork.net. My own work is found here :D . I'd really appreciate any c & c on this one. It's quite a departure for me on several levels. Thanks.

    I've looked at this image for some time, with mixed feelings about it.
    In some ways it looks inviting as in a "come and explore me type of thing"
    In other ways it looks like a tangled mess ne_nau.gif

    It's one of those images that your either going to like it a lot, or not at all.
    The Black and White conversion on the shot is very well done thumb.gif
    ...... Skippy :D

    Thanks Skippy for the feedback. That you spent some time looking at it and not just a glance is a great compliment. I had the same thought before posting it that folks will love it or hate it. You could probably guess that I was hoping for more of a "come and explore me" response. I was trying to emphasize through toning the layers of the piece. In it's entirety, this was an installation of pods about 10 feet tall and 10 feet in diameter that you could walk through. The shot was through a window of one pod, into the interior of another.

    Thanks Awais for looking. I have a couple more, but this was the first step. I can't decide what I want to do with them. Some I think would look strong in color, but the black and white is a really nice abstract treatment for them too.
