Under Bridge Heads














Found under Seneca Street as viewed from Post Alley. It's a mostly concrete location, out of the rain. Cars, food, officespaces. Two heads. Although one huge head covering all the grey might have been better, they feel unresolved with the lower half of their canvas only city grey, punctuated by four industrial dots. Bodyless, virtual ; knowledge workers, telecommuters... with hundreds of real commuters flowing off the Viaduct just a few feet overhead.

Everywhere a Sign














The requirements of signage makes for a curious aesthetic at times. Found on lower Western Ave. just before it intersects Yesler, this garage door's two notices creates a beautiful clusterfuck of language: "Do No Parking Any Time" it insists. Why on earth didn't the "No Parking" sign go below the spray painted message? Odd. The charcoal-gray color of the door is a perfect backdrop to this inadvertant assemblage.
