SC Big 7

Last of the USC construction series. I liked the numbers, the calculations, the big 7. These images and the ones I took of the train car really do inspire me to paint and layer numbers, letters, and random marks on a surface. Kind of like modern cave paintings in way. Will people in the future tear down our buildings and sift through the wreckage and wonder about the markings someone left behind? Will they wonder what or who a Mac Daddy was?

Another beam shot from my USC trip. I really am liking the idea of random marks in random places becoming art by just changing the context ofthe way we view it. I have framed this random mark that probably means something like "front east" to designate where the beam went. This mark and Mac Daddy will disappear under the dry wall and paint planned to finalize the look of this place, a special collections library building.

Mac Daddy Wuz Here

Over two weeks since I have blogged. I haven't really taken any pictures either. No wonder I've been a bit crabby. Saw this while touring a building under construction on the University of South Carolina campus. I'm going to post a few more images from the trip. I like that people make their mark in this way. I don't like trees being carved into but this works for me. I don't know if Mac Daddy was in the vicinity when I took this shot. I hope he was.
