Paint

Read Full Post…Often, what I find in paint is line, shape, colour and texture, the elements of form to which I commit a photographic frame. I especially love ageing, cracked and peeling paint. Sometimes it is the aging of a solid colour, along with some favourable light, which creates all the lines and shapes, reveals layers of colour and tone and texture. But more than just for its texture, ageing paint tends to come with a story — how did the paint come to be old, faded, cracked, peeling and chipped?
