Off to Boston.
I bought a load of chalk last night. A lot of good chalk for pretty cheap, that was fun.
Today seems like a great day to go chalking, weather and everything, but, I'm at the airport right now.
I wonder if they'll let me bust out and go do some drawing on the tarmac.
My meeting at EPEC last night, made me think about this project a little more.
Arlyne, who is organizing a commemoration of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August told me about a similar project she did in Ft. Lauderdale.
The tension and scariness of the Cold War left a lot of people privately worrying about the issue, and taking no public action, forcing people to live in the shadows, almost. Since everything was so tense, her and her friends snuck out in the middle of the night and drew shadows of people on the sides of buildings in chalk, representing the shadows of people that the Cold War created.
It made me think of maybe changing the style of the project.
Let me know if you have any ideas, but I was thinking of a stencil-ish project.
Maybe the outline of a combat boot that we trace, and write the name underneath.
That makes the project a little simpler, and easier to do, if the person who's drawing the names can't get down there.
I'll put some thought into it while I'm away.
I've got my computer with me so, I'll update, but, e-mail, e-mail, e-mail and let me know what you think about a new direction or style or tracing.
Thanks,
Happy Summer,
Willie
