In "Maine," Glen Wilbert photographs the gable end of a weathered shingled fishing shack hung with lobster buoys, a paned window at the center and a dark open doorway below, with a pair of crab claws nailed above the door.
The image is rendered in black and white, which brings out the texture of the aged wood shingles and the worn paint on the hanging buoys. Glen framed the wall straight on so the buoys, the window, and the doorway arrange themselves into a loose grid across the surface, each buoy a slightly different shape and tone. The reflection of bare trees shows faintly in the window glass, and the crab claws over the door add an odd, specific detail.
This is a piece of New England coastal Americana, the working buoys and gear of a Maine lobster fishery left on the building as everyday decoration. Glen records it as an arrangement of found objects on a textured wall.
In black and white, the composition is built on texture and arrangement: worn buoys and shingles read as shape and tone.
