APRIL 2020 THIS week's PICTURE

Interior of Le Meridien, Philadelphia II : photo by Malcolm Aslett

So this one I have worked on several times. Check out another version here:https://joinerphotography.com/This%20month/JPOCT19d.html

I like brick. Who doesn't? St Stephen, maybe, though he is the patron saint of bricklayers. While the first went with remembrances of Gustave Dore engravings I wanted this one to have more to do with the red brick.

I worked through the areas that were abutted and eased them into one another, sometimes trying to make sense of the spaces in an Escher way, by allowing sections to shoot off in another direction as if gravity didn't matter. This involved cleaning up the roof section and the floor. The carpet design is such that anything makes sense there.

I enjoyed doing it again. A lot of pleasure in making windows and door whole and finding relationships with oddly angled sections.

In the present Covid19 climate this windowed but empty interior landscape has a logic. The entrance or exit has a peculiar yellow glow. The sky seems beyond touch. Homes become both prisons and refuge.
