Brutalism • Reimagined
Brutalist architecture is one of the most controversial styles of architecture to exist. It’s what people imagine when they think about what a prison looks like, with its cold and imposing exterior. Brutalism is also what people typically picture when they think of government buildings or schools built in the 1950s-1960s.
Brutalist style is known for its heavy, imposing appearance. If there’s one word that can sum up the entirety of brutalism, it’s the word “concrete.” The style came as a response to the sleek and polished Moderne style popular during the early 20th century.

The third of a series of 3 images based on a straight shot of an old, badly painted fence.
The panoramic shot of the fence immediately brought to mind the long, large scale, abstract paintings by both Barnett Newman and Jules Olistki, so I thought to spring off their work to create something of my own.
There's a deep bow here, in the titling, to Olitski. I chose the name after one of my favourite paintings of his, "Balshazzar Dream". It is also green.

I took an image of graffiti painted inside a culvert and used the colors to re-create the meanings of the tags. I don't know if the original words or symbols spoke of violence or vulgarity, but by restructuring the elements used by the original artists, my intent here is turn their hurt into heart.
This seems to be my life lately. Holding a position then a wind, a wand, or a way-out-from-left field wallop sends me spinning into other whirly worlds.
