Ground covers III

Ground Covers III  is part of a series of collages that resulted from photographing metal covers imbedded in the concrete at a local gas station. This is in keeping with my practice of photographing overlooked industrial subjects and my more recent focus on circles. 

I had photographed manhole covers at gas stations in the past but these were different! My curiosity led me to learn that these new ones are covers for spill containment containers buried underground. 

Although I have had the same images printed in other colour combinations, Ground Covers III uses blue and orange which are complementary colours (opposite each other on a colour wheel). I am intrigued not only by the four pieces that make up each of the 9 large squares, but also by the placement of the white grid 'lines' that add their own geometry. There are usually several iterations of the composition before I settle on the final one.
