Saw/Saw 3

Saw/Saw, a mini mural of Sawtooth Peak on a round saw blade, was almost finished.

I fixed the camera setting, stood on the ladder to photograph it, and then realized that the trees on the bottom were crooked. Of course I only noticed this after putting the photo in an email to the customers, but immediately after sending it, I straightened them up. This is tricky business on a circle – how do I know vertical is vertical without straight edges of the canvas or wall to guide me?

That’s why I get paid the Big Bucks. (Fall down laughing.)

  1. Who knew that something nice could be done on a saw blade!

    • Janet, this is definitely one of the odder jobs I’ve done! Thank you for your nice words about it.

  2. Hmm. Perhaps perspective is not a constant, but rather one of those values that lies more in the eyes of the beholder than in a rigid form.

    • Louise, perhaps everyone who sees the finished saw blade will have to tilt their heads for the view that best suits them.
