Wire fences add an extra visual layer to a scene. Visually, they add texture and geometry. They can also distort, frame and restrict what we (choose) to see.
On first impressions, I immediately liked their grid systems. Noticing wire fences in mundane moments, I’ve begun to appreciate the visual effect that they have on a setting.
They are designed to restrict access to an area by creating a boundary. They control access, protect, prompt a sense of caution and interrupt our line of vision but in doing so, they can also add interest to what we see.
Wired
I like noticing things getting caught in fences. Especially plants - plants have a sense of emotion attached to them, I think. Or is that just me?
Warped
I’ve always liked a rebel. Rebellious breaks in the pattern on fences included! Warps, breaks, attempted repairs, they must have a story and perhaps it’s that thought that makes them oddly inspiring.
Background
Colourful backgrounds have a way of highlighting the patterns and details of any fencing in the foreground. Together, they create an interesting canvas for the eye.
Foreground
Fences obscured by trailing plants are take on a more solid visual appearance. There is a sense of enchantment mixed into there, too.
Away from the purely aesthetic appeal of fences and the mundane things I notice about them. Although it is ingrained in human behaviour to be more curious about concealed, areas sectioned off from public access. fences do require a sense of caution especially when they are protecting institutions such as schools.
