Part of the circles were on the sidewalk, and part on the bricks of the building. About 8' in diameter. I think he was defining space... and seeing what the circles would look like... and probably testing boundaries as you say. His art has evolved (joshuamosley.com).Kim Mosleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17658600791743162004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3610430154861217625.post-26807561630081002142010-06-03T13:57:06.488-05:002010-06-03T13:57:06.488-05:00What was the significance of circles?

“Sidewalk chalk.”
“For what?”
“...“What is this?”<br /><br />“Sidewalk chalk.”<br /><br />“For what?”<br /><br />“Drawing on concrete and such.”<br /><br />“Yeah. . . And would the concrete be anywhere near the BP station.”<br /><br />“. . . Have I discussed my plan with you already?”<br /><br />“I know you! . . . I think it would be a better idea for you to just stand in front of the station with a sign.”<br /><br />“Why? My time is valuable. This way I can just leave the tag and go about my day.”<br /><br />“It’s vandalism.”<br /><br />“No it’s not! It’s sidewalk chalk!”<br /><br />“Listen to me. BP is getting a lot of bad press right now. . .”<br /><br />“It’s not bad press. It’s people getting angry about things that really happened.”<br /><br />“BP is ultra sensitive about their public image right now. If you go up there and start drawing all over their property, they might actually try to press charges against you for vandalism.”<br /><br />“It’s not freaking vandalism! It’s sidewalk chalk! If it bothers them, all they have to do is hose it down. Besides, I’m not planning on putting the tag on their property. I was going to put it on the public drive leading down to their property.”<br /><br />“Look. Just stand there with a sign. I think you are in the right, but I don’t want to be bailing you out of jail for stupidness.”<br /><br />“Whatever. No cop is going to arrest me for sidewalk chalk. I doubt the BP employee behind the counter would even see me. And the cameras ain’t aimed up the drive. I really think you are blowing this out of proportion.”<br /> <br />“You weren’t even going to tell me about this were you?”<br /><br />“Don't be mad. I was just going to take a walk early in the morning, do my thing, and then head to work.”<br /><br />“You’re still contemplating this aren’t you?”<br /><br />“I have a lot of anger right now. This is a good way to channel it, through chalk art. Besides, I’ve already invested in the chalk.”<br /><br />“If I wake up tonight and you’re not in bed like normal, I’m going to get pissed off.”<br /><br />“Relax. I’m not going to do it tonight. The radar says there’s rain coming.”Kate Freemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07826311771326897525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3610430154861217625.post-10089505831778030422010-06-03T11:15:54.707-05:002010-06-03T11:15:54.707-05:00How did you discover that the blackbird was a she?...How did you discover that the blackbird was a she?

Also an Eastern Towhee,that I have heard singing all week but couldn't find.<br /><br />I count on my walks to recharge me, physically and fill my spirit.<br />Art is as valuable a tool to process the world as anything else<br />I think.sue skinnerhttp://sjpottery.comnoreply@blogger.com
