Bodywork, Darwin, Calfornia, 2007

This car’s body is a mess. It looks as if someone was trying to restore it and gave up. Yet the vivid splotches and pervasive rust complement each other beautifully. I moved in on it, and leave the viewer with an abstraction that expresses the toll that time can take on even the strongest of machines. (I’ve posted another image, featuring the grille of this car, earlier in this gallery.)
