Description
Vehicle Abstract of an aged machine in black and white with a vintage toned color applied to the monochrome art photograph. This is part of a caterpillar track with attention given to the central drive cog.
The mechanical parts are covered in dust and dirt from many years of active service, providing earth moving support and construction tasks.
John D Williams has titled this art image as �Cogs of Dust and Determination�. Determination applies to the strength and power of this large industrial machine, whilst it attracts a covering of dust and dirt during its daily tasks. The cogwheel component leads the viewer�s eyes to the vast track mechanism that drives the machine forward and backwards as it scraped and relocates the earth.
The use of a copper based tone adds an almost sepia like aged retro quality to the fine art image. This color reminds us of the passing of time, as the machine rests in a static state. Art like this really belongs to the fans of large machines, especially those with a construction background and an interest in earth moving machinery. Gearwheel components make an interesting visual gift for people interested in building work.
Heavy plant engines take on a striking beautiful quality that I want to share as a gift for other people. To me the delight of this type of image rests in how I capture these images. Exploration is an essential part of being an art photographer for me. Stumbling upon disused redundant machines and then capturing the very essence of the machine is a real pleasure for me.
Art images like the image to the right are currently forming part of my mechanical abstract collections here at Fine Art America and the Pixels site.
