traffic cabinet project
things I saw while walking
City of Richmond Public Art Program
These traffic cabinets are on what may be the ugliest corner in Richmond (right in front of ~*Daddy's Grill*~). To make these drawings I walked around the area a lot to see what I would see. My eye kept landing on small, disgarded things: a crumpled hot dog wrapper, a handful of scattered creamer packets, a variety of overturned, broken chairs, a deflated balloon, a rogue shopping cart, weeds sprouting through cracks, a series of orange peels, a candy wrapper...lately I've been interested in drawing what I actually see, rather than more stylized or imagined things. I appreciate that the city was cool with me taking this trashy direction.
