C E MORSE
Beyond Recognition


I spend a lot of time in vintage auto salvage yards and boatyards where I discover incredible visual elements that inspire me the same way as do the great abstract painters. I hunt for this wild art, looking for patterns, color, texture & composition in subjects both man-made and natural; embellished by chance and patinated by nature, with an unspoken history of random events that can only be guessed or imagined. There is no reference to the identity or the scale of what I photograph. The abstract imagery coaxes a personal interpretation contingent upon the viewer’s imagination.

"It's not what you look at that matters, it's what you see." - Henry David Thoreau
