‘The Astoria Clown Car, Astoria, Oregon

9/10/2020

 
These abstract photographs that I took last year are close up images of 'the Astoria Clown Car' in Astoria, Oregon. You can read about its storied history here:  https://www.oldastoria.com/buncha-clowns.php   In 1955, a group of men from the Astoria Chamber of Commerce became trained clowns, purchased a '48 Chrysler and painted it with bright colors.  This became the 'Clown Car', which was driven in parades and used to help raise funds to build a bridge over the Columbia River, from Astoria, Oregon, to Washington. 

Still Point Arts Quarterly, ‘A Community Wall’

9/10/2020

 
The first time I came across this community wall in a rough neighborhood in Oakland, California, I was struck by the extraordinary designs and composition, the patterns and layers of color and texture covering what began as a chain link fence. The images on the wall seemed to suggest layers of time:  ancient maps of Europe, regions of the USA, even imaginary trade routes.  When I returned a year later I saw that people had continued to add swaths of color and texture.  The wall was a living thing, with its own evolving beauty.
