Surfeit Abstractions

I would love to be writing about how I brilliantly conceived, carefully planned and meticulously labored over the creation of these mixed media pieces using the uncommon medium of fertilizer runoff on cement but instead, I merely took the time to notice what was happening and opportunistically capture it.

In a local suburban center there sits an enormous, warehouse-style church with a lush, expansive lawn. The grass is impeccably manicured - presumably to attract and retain potential members of the flock. This grand tribute to God’s abundance and all-American lawn aesthetic is about ten feet above street level and held in check by a cement retaining wall which suffers gloriously from the excess of chemical fertilizers used to beautify the church grounds and ends up creating a completely unique form of beauty.
