(Click image to view larger)I walked by this piece on the sidewalk on 4th street between 1st Avenue and Avenue A last weekend. The first thought that popped into my mind was, "wow, that's a pretty cool looking flower."
As an artist that uses photography as my medium, my challenge is framing the world
everyone sees in a way that illustrates the idea I want to share. This image illustrates the ideal layout of a modern city, using the perspective of a bird's-eye view. There are highways leading into the city. A bright and vibrant downtown area surrounded by a densely populated and cultured residential area. The key idea is how the city is built from within and continues to develop within space and avoids sprawling beyond the boundaries.
When I 1st looked at it I also thought that it was a wonderful flower. I just love your interpretation of it and I can see that very clearly after reading your post. I also see a stick figure, legs, arms and head with all the lines as veins and the "flower" around the head as everything that goes on in your mind. Kind of all the thoughts.
ReplyDeleteYou see things that other people don't see. The discovery of this flower is outstanding. Artists live in a different world and their senses are always open to new findings. Mene and Porotita
ReplyDeleteI agree, very cool looking flower. I like the stem the best. Yellow, orange, and brown make me think of Fall. However, I don't agree that cities are built completly from within and I definitly think they sprawl beyond their boundaries. I see cities as hubs that connect different people, places, and things. They are areas that definitly affect other places and people around them and vice versa. import, export, jobs, industries, recreation, pollution, all stem from the city and go well beyond. Wildflowers are cool. You should come up in the mountains and shot some wildflower valleies this July. I enjoy the blog.
