It is eerie. On a bench? So is an advert pasted to the bench, and the "bubbling" effect created by deterioration of the display ad or is that effect in the original advert photo/graphic itself?
A piece of urban street art--there was a period I used to occassionally see similar arty-facts placed in random locations in Berkeley, often near Telegraph Ave, most oddly abstract painted wooden pieces above eye level, which I enjoyed the concept of a great deal. 8^}
Then, apparently some folks got greedy, and started stealing or taking them down. Sad. *^p
That really used to roast my toast!
Hmmm...maybe I ought to begin a new tradition up here in the neo-con suburban enclave I reside in at the moment. Gotta have the funk. Or make some of my own...
Um, yours? If so, how did you create that translucent "beaded" effect? Give us the story behind the picture.
ReplyDeleteYep, mine. The face is on a bench across the street from my apt. It's about as big as my palm. I thought it looked kind of eerie.

ReplyDeleteWhat face? All I see is some kind of mesa!
ReplyDeleteAnon.--
ReplyDeleteIt's actually a 3-D concrete face. The "bubbling" is simply imperfections in the casting magnified by my camera.
