Week 13.2009: Crossing a Line.

Patterns, both man-made and natural, attract and fascinate me. Parallel strands of iron laid over beams of oak that make up a train yard, the rings of a spiderweb, doors in a strip mall, the pedals of a flower, these are the things that catch my eye. Even better when that pattern falls apart or is interrupted which is why I really like what I was able to do with the walls of the Golden Coors plant in Crossing a Line. Since the first time I saw it, the endless grey checkerboard that makes up the walls of the Coors Brewing Plant in Golden, CO has fascinated me. It wasn't until, on a photowalk with Penny, I saw the yellow handrail cutting across the lines did it all come together for me.
