Apologies to Robert Irwin, an artist whose granite marker, inscribed with the phrase,

EVER PRESENT

NEVER TWICE

THE SAME

was part of an installation on the grounds of Wave Hill, a New York City public garden where I worked in 1987.

  1. I can’t say for sure, of course, but I don’t think Mr. Irwin would object…. I like what you’ve done with it…and do especially enjoy the laundry on the barbed wire….

    • Thank you – I’m glad you like that one – it’s just rags, and the fence is along a field far from “anywhere”, and I see the same thing now and again: rags tied to a fence. To keep cattle from accidentally bumping into the barbed wire? Don’t know, but I love the way it looks.

  2. At first glance that second image looks like delicate fabric on a clothesline – but then you notice the barbed wire.
    It’s very beautiful but also makes a deeper statement.

    • Yes – a contrast, the barbed wire and softly blowing rags. I’m glad you took the time to scroll back, and then to comment. These are some of the photos I care most about, so thank you very much!
