Art on Art on Art
You are thinking about words you are reading on a webpage I designed to display words that express thoughts I was thinking about a photograph that was taken of a sculpture that was sitting in a sculpture garden in an outdoor gallery in the Museum of Modern Art in New York City in March of 2007.
At first I didn’t see the drawings on the surface. Then, when I did see them, I assumed they were made by the artist using paints that matched the color of the metal, as to be visible only when viewed at certain angles according to the light. How clever, I thought.
Then I realized, the surfaces were blank, but it was dusty and people were drawing in the dust with their fingers. It occurred to me that new layers were always accumulating, and the dust images were constantly changing. For some reason, I really liked this idea of a dynamic layer of anonymous art on top of a fixed layer of old famous art.
