The Fence
I’ve mentioned a few times that my structures series was inspired by a picture of my dad’s fence taken back in 2000. This it that image – I was hunting through my pictures recently looking for something else and came across it.
The motif in the Structures series is an E shape based on the top prongs of this fence. The fence is about boundaries – both physical but also emotional. Fences keep us safe. They keep others out. They define us and hide us. I doubt I’ll ever get tired of exploring both their physical properties and their emotional impact.

I hadn’t read that background on your series. It is a very interesting image. I can see how it could inspire.
It’s interesting how an image can stick with us and become the source of expressing our psyche and feelings about life … and that it can initially happen without much intent on our part. The tricky part is recognizing that “it” is there.
