The Splat Series

On an early afternoon in the waning days of December, 2016,   
I was driving my car on Almaden Expwy in South San Jose, 
minding my own business. Suddenly, a Canadian goose, flying over head,
opened it’s bomb bay doors, and unleashed a very nasty dallop of 
Canadian Goose poop.  It splattered mightly on my windshield, 
almost directly in my line of sight.  My initial reaction, was, ‘ ahhhh
maaaaan !!! ’.  But as I continued driving, I had the chance to study this
organic brand of abstract art further.  The longer I had the chance to 
study this splat, the more abstract and quite interesting, it became.  Wing
shapes emerged from the farthest stretches of splatter, and the profile of
a person, with very spiky hair, started to take shape.  So, when I returned
home, I started photographing this splat, and moving my car around, to
photograph this splat with different backgrounds and sky patterns in 
lightness and cloud cover.  In post production, I started playing with the 
different files even further, to the point where I feel a very interesting 
body of work resulted in this effort.  My hope is that these images from 
the ‘ Splat ’ series, become at least as iconic as Warhol‘s Campbell Soup 
Cans. That, would be quite cool.
