Photographer’s Notes:

This is one of the images that resulted in my search for the perfect wall — one that would provide the raw material for a series of abstract images. I hoped the walls would just present themselves, ready to be photographed. This ceiling was under construction and was at the point where the final decorative finish was about to be applied. I tend to think of these as unintentional gestural paintings made by the construction workers with their trowels. I am intrigued by the artfulness of marks which were made with no aesthetic goal in mind.
