Adventures in ArtWorks, part 5

This week at the wall was AMAZEBALLS.  With the weather approaching tolerable levels, the crew was able to work slightly extended hours, so we got a lot accomplished.  Faces are beginning to appear and a story is starting to unfold.  So.  Excited.

One day last week, as we took our lunch break in a square of shade in the parking lot, we got a visitor with a few things to say.  An older gentleman with a smart straw hat wandered by, taking photographs of our work.  I looked around at the smiling crew, who were clearly proud that a member of the public was interested in what we're doing.  The guy turned to us and asked, "Are you the artists?"  We nodded, yes sir.  "Did you do the one in Newport?"  We shook our heads, no sir.  "Well, the one in Newport is better.  This one has too much junky-junk up there, " he said as he gestured to the upper right of the wall, and then walked away without another word. 

When you're doing public art, you are necessarily subjected to public judgement - that's just the way it goes.  The crew took it well, they were quite tickled, in fact.  And now "junky-junk" has become kind of a catch phrase for us.  We are thinking about making a flag to attach to the scaffolding, and that might just end up being our motto.

Anyway, some photos from the week:

Also, a reporter came by earlier in the week and gave us a lovely little write-up in the local paper.  You can read it here.

I'm hoping I can remember to bring my drill on Monday so we can take some of the plywood panels down and see more of the wall.  Stay tuned for more junky-junk :)
