SPLISH , SPLASH,SPLOSH - Paint in Limerick City

Project from Peter Morgan was to photograph 'paintwork' in the city ....large or small...in an interesting manner. ie in or out of context, realist,abstract.....whatever.

9 photos that I assembled starting with the one I liked most.

The reasons why I like this are the 3 - dimensional nature and mixture of geometric and organic like forms / shapes. Thinking metaphorically I see the layer of paint retaining a tenacious hold on the metal surface but ultimately fighting a losing battle. There is a certain beauty in the contrast between the firm hold, the initial curling up at the edges, the shadow formed by the departing flake and the clean background with no visible traces of the paint. Could this be our lives....holding on, letting go , being remembered and influencing others for a short time only to become 'nothing'.

Thats what I think ...in my current state of mind. Thats the way it is!

I won't tell you what these images are. Some are very large ...some very small. Enjoy!?!?

An exhibition of the top one or two chosen by each student was subsequently put together in LSAD ,in the corridor reaching from the foyer to the canteen.
