abstract expressionism – Ruth E. Hendricks

And a nod to Jackson Pollock at the car wash. Abstract expressionism for sure. I’ve photographed some impressionism at the car wash before today.

I was on my way to Columbus Ohio, stopped for gas at the Sheetz in Triadelphia West Virginia. Do you want a car wash? Y or N? I thought, why not? Hit Y.

A code is printed on the receipt and you go get in line across the lot.

Not sure what’s in their soap but the car looked nice and clean once it rinsed off.

A little break in the monotonous drive on the interstate.

Oh, then there was the potato chip art, from the bag I’d purchased when I went to the rest room. Lunch.

A Starfish right in the middle of the giant ruffled chip.

An art day, right in Triadelphia, West Virginia. Who knew?

Six years ago when I came to the school I am now, there were dried out paints in containers that had been moved to our school. I soaked them to reuse the containers. And when the water went down the drain, this is what was left. I taped newspaper over the sink and made a little sign. DO NOT USE SINK. I didn’t tell them why, The next day I brought in my camera, removed the newspaper and photographed the paint splats in the sink. It was really interesting to me. So this is another from the archives. Abstract expressionism.
