Another take on a swimming pool. The original from eight years ago worked hard to put the pool back into the shape of something like a four sided figure.

Here the pool ducks and curves like a coastline.

The original made a deal out of the differing polarities of the image. Here there is the traditional idea of an up and a down but the various sides of the pool are commited to a horizontal frame.

I was also denied the luxury of choosing various figures in a Muybridge-like development of action and had to settle for one figure. The green wall of trees on the right had to be worked to hide breakage and similarly patches of water had toe be reworked to a more pristine looking state.

Those wooden things are Adirondack chairs, for all those who aren't American. A common enough sight in the Adirondacks to see hard working mountain folk resting at the end of the day in their Adirondack chairs by the pool. Americans like their nouns, I think.

The blue squiggles of light in the pool are now synonymous with Hockney as well as the title a Bigger Splash for those who care for visual and oral connections.
