Homage to Bollinger - digitally manipulated chain-link industrial snakeskin pattern photograph

digital photographic collage of industrial chain-link fence snakeskin pattern
In August of 2006, I created a series of digitally manipulated photographic abstracts that turned the images into patterns. In the late 1960s, Bill Bollinger did a series of industrial sculptures using chain link fencing. With "Homage to Bollinger", a night time digital photograph of white chain link fencing against a graffiti covered wall has been tiled to give the appearance of a piece of snakeskin. My intention was that 32 copies of this image would be printed at 7.5" x 10" and laid side by side to appear as the skin of a 10" x 20' industrial snake.

Materials Used: Digital Photograph, Adobe Photoshop
Dimensions: 10" x 240"
Year Created: 2006
Status: Prints Available

Below is a rough mock-up of how the piece was intended to look in a gallery setting once all of the individual prints were connected together.
