"Real generosity toward the future lies in giving all to the present"
(Albert Camus).
"Todays Green
Field
Series" (a series of more than 70 images) is part of the mobile phone photography instagram project that
consists of 2 additional series, "Road Art" and "T5 Art".
All images from
this series were taken at Bishops Meadow, Farnham (Surrey), located a mere
20 meters away from my home. As part of the overall project they represent a
point of origin and destination, not only by their earthy essence but also
as the point of residence in my daily travels.
This series aims
to highlight the relationship between the eternal and the transient in our
experience of both. Today's Green Field is in a permanent flux, just like the
river that runs through it, but both can only ever be experienced as
today's, and while eternal in its spatial essence, its ephemeral appearance
makes it an unrepeatable expression in time.
If I don't
pay enough attention, today's green field may seem to be exactly the same as
yesterday's, and while in essence it is, the way it manifests itself is in
constant change. Sometimes change may seem subtle, moment to moment, day to
day, season to season, but it can also be drastic, and from one day to
another even turn temporarily into
a lake. Then, as the more familiar green grass lies concealed below its
waters, only the memory of yesterday's green field seems to survive.
Today's Green Field Series...Perhaps just another life's metaphor!
