Global Warming, 1 of 25 - Limited Edition of 25 Photograph

For this image I was inspired by abstract impressionist artists, including Jackson Pollock and Willem de Kooning. I generally try to make my original photographs resemble paintings, and this image is no exception. I was also interested in responding to the threat of climate change and the increasing incidents of terrifying fires, especially in the USA and Australia. So my desire was to create an image which has a certain menacing beauty, but is an image evoking a raging conflagration, and I hope the viewers of this image will feel both an attraction and a sense of danger, which seems to me to be the reaction that many feel when in the presence of large fires. I chose the angularity and intense colours inherent in the abstract expressionist style as it seemed best suited to the meaning I wanted to convey.
