The project that never was...



I decided to post a picture of one of my ideas for a project that never came to be, because if it had, I think it would have been really cool :) This is a Keith Harring-inspired social commentary on the way humans are impacting the environment. If you can't see (because it is really tiny in the picture), at the top of the hourglass is a picture of a pretty valley at the base of a mountain, with lots of flowers and happy nature stuff. This scene is falling into the bottom of the hourglass where a polluted, exhaust-strewn scene of factories is growing. The hourglass could be turned over and this horrible trend reversed, were it not for the electrical cords that humans are indirectly pulling on through the factories, where money spews out of the smokestacks. It kind of looks funny, because my black marker ran out of ink, but you get the picture.
