Pixel Pour is a wonderful New York street art installation created by Kelly Goeller.
First of all, the team at Maricor/Maricar have a gorgeous website. In their own words the Australians are illustrators, designers, animators and embroiderers. I’m going to have to do a whole separate post on their embroidery work alone but for today I just wanted to highlight this simple chalk mural. The little detail of having shading on the curves knocks it out of the park for me. ”Fail better” couldn’t better capture what I’m trying to do out in California, too.

More for fun than function. A variety of stainless steel heads, tails and legs fold out to reveal some of Africa’s native wildlife like the giraffe, antelope and rhinoceros.

This project focuses on the Grand Trunk Road, one of India’s ancient highways, which has recently been renovated as part of a national highway campaign. As I traveled back and forth from Delhi on trips that ranged from one day to two weeks, I followed a predetermined process whereby I would do a drawing from the road perspective every 76 kilometers (1/20th of the 1500 km/900+ mile journey) and then interview people whom I met on the road. The drawings were done in this manner to avoid my own subjective choices about what would be interesting to portray. Furthermore, the process connects closely with conceptual art, where a defined system (roadway mileage stops) guides the production.
The series documents the road as it exists today- the remnants from the past, new construction, and voices of people who live and work there. Drawings of interview participants, maps, receipts, book pages, and roadside views de-emphasize single or specially chosen sites in favor of a holistic and democratic view of what anyone might see while traveling the road. The interviews and drawings became a study of grey tones- not just in terms of stylistic choices but in the variety of interpretations. By looking at a drawing from this series, we can juxtapose what we bring to the images with how people near this road interpret their own ever-changing environment.
