Old tyres – photographs of textures, cracks and worn tread
In this album I take a close look at old tyres. Cracked rubber, worn tread grooves and dusty surfaces become the main subjects of the photographs. Some frames show the curves and openings of tyres; others focus on tiny cracks and signs of wear that form almost abstract patterns.
I was interested in the contrast between the regular shape of the object and the irregular texture of its surface. Repeated tread zigzags sit beside ragged cracks, while pale scuff marks stand out against dark recesses. Tight framing allows these fragments to be detached from their everyday function and treated as an arrangement of lines, light and shadow.
This is a series about finding a photographic subject in ordinary, worn objects. Rather than showing a tyre as a product, I look for traces of time and interesting details within it. The gallery can also provide inspiration for those seeking textures, worn materials and industrial abstraction.
