Detailing the viewed experience

One of the problems I always find in my work is that the photographic documentation does not reflect the viewed experience of the installation. The texture and color of the paint and all the varied nuances of the surrounding surface. These qualities are in effect what my work is all about and that is lost in translation of photographic documentation. It makes it very difficult to discuss my artwork with people who have not seen the actual installation and most of the time its a lost cause trying. I was thinking of this when preparing to sand the walls back in my studio in preparation for the next project. I began to think how I could bridge some of these problems so I took some very close up shots of the surface creating a different visual interpretation of the wall works some of the results I have posted here in groups. Click on the images if you wish to see them a little larger than posted of the blogspot. There is also a link to a slideshow detailing the individual works at the end of this post.
