Here's my Shadow Shot Sunday #64


Some shadowy wording. Followed by another photo of the sign...


And here's another photo taken from the other side...


This 10 metre tall sign isn't located outside a motel. It's in fact a scultpure created by Scott Redford found in the forecourt of Brisbane's Gallery of Modern Art and was one of the first major commissions completed under the art+place program. It's a wonderful spectacle when illuminated at night! It's so very kitschy cool!

Happy Sunday!

so, That is a sculpture? Very interesting! I love it as a shadow shot. You come up with the most fascinating shots each week.

Amazing sculpture! Certainly this is "realistic abstract sculptured mixed media" artwork ~ if there is such a thing! Especially love "Pleasure overrules pain...." part. Very interesting!

Happy weekend!

Cool shadow spotting. So it's classified as a sculpture? That's funny! Crazy modern art! I do love it due to my obsession with all things 50s and kitsch! I really need to get on board with this shadow bizzo one of these days! Happy Sunday to you!

Super photos - and that's an amazing 'work of art'! Thanks for including one of my photos in this week's collage. It's only just before 4 on Saturday afternoon here, so a little while yet until I post my SSS pictures (and I've worked out how to put the button into the body of my post - perhaps soon I'll get it on the sidebar!!)

That sign had me going for awhile. Love the "No Abstractions" notice. THAT sure doesn't work for this site! Great find and photo.

GalleryJuana said…
Love the blues in the sky! You really know how to capture vibrant colors in your photos.

The words in the second pic are interesting. Now that I know it is a sculpture, I understand. Very cool idea.

Back from my trip up in the mountains where I had no connection at all.
What a pleasure to see your fabulous shots. That sculpture is quite something! I looked carefully at all the photos, and they are all really good. You have such a good eye.

I love this sign and how it came to be! Commissioned work for public art! Yowsas!

Hot Fudge said…
Guess what? We drove past that sign a little while back and I was puzzling how a motel had been there all that time and I hadn't noticed it before. Then The Wise One Who Knows Everything shot me one of his All Knowing looks and said it was outside the GOMA - it wasn't real. But I like to think it is.

Martha said…
What a neat work of art! Love the gallery as always too. Not sure if I have a shadow shot for this week. I really need to get out and do some shooting!

Love the yellow/snow one.

(yellow snow probably doesn't sound so nice!)

.... oh but hold on.. I just went to look at the photo on their website and it's not snow, it's actually just really white sand!!

Fabulous! I never would have known that this wasn't an actual motel sign... except the great quote did make me wonder. I just figured your motels were more enlightened then ours were!

Oh, I LOVE this one! There's NOTHING quite so fun as kitschy signage against a blue blue sky!
:-D GREAT shot!

What a great shadow shot! I just LOVE neon...signs, sculptures, whatever you want to call it.

There is a town nearby us that has a road that still has a lot of vintage neon. I've often thought about going over there and photographing it all. But never have done it yet.

Great collages too:)

Too bad that is a sculpture! That would be an interesting place to stay!! I love the thought about pain vs. pleasure!
Very nice shadows! I'm hoping to come up with some inspiration so that I can participate again soon! :)
