This quartet of Mexican plastic flamingos incongruously lodges in the rafters of a roadside tourist shop in Clatskanie. I built this image around entirely around repeating rhythms, which create a pattern of implied movement. The horizontal row of flamingos alternately hold their heads high and low, so I’ve offset them to the right hand side of the picture, which seems to get them moving. The rafter beams also flow horizontally, while the vertical ridges in the roof repeat the vertical thrust of three of the flamingos. I was drawn to the scene because of its incongruity and geometry, and used that geometry as the basic structure of the image.
