Flying Squirrel, 2023

The source image for ‘Flying Squirrel’ came from a vintage McDonald’s in California, that looks exactly the same as it did in the 1950s. While waiting for a cheeseburger, I snapped a photo of one of the golden arches, and when the final piece was assembled, it reminded me of one of the vintage spacecraft from 1930s science fiction films, being piloted by an angry little cartoon squirrel.

This minimalist serenity of this image is reminiscent of a set from a science-fiction movie. It’s geometric architecture and the fact that light comes from both above and below makes it feel like we are floating in the upper atmosphere, waiting for transport to arrive. The subject for the source image came was a subway stop in Los Angeles.
