| Hidden Symmetry oil/canvas 48 x 24 x 1.5 |
Oh-so-many years ago when passing down our main county road, I constantly marveled at this charming spire. There were two on the rooftop of the dilapidated barn, one at each end. I continually made mental notes to photograph them before gravity had its way.
Eventually I did and two paintings resulted. From the time I was a child, certain objects had an animation to me...perhaps the result of too many Disney movies...Fantasia to be exact. It is almost as if we are witness to the struggle of this spire's attempts at staying erect. As time marches on, and being a woman of a certain age, I see myself in this struggle and view this architectural detail as a human version of myself. Simile.
Both spires were removed weeks after photos were taken. The spires remained on the ground for years, I believe. They are no longer.
