Public art…
What is it? Some familiarize themselves with public art being a representation of public display of creativity. Which it is. But there is also another interpretation of public art which I relate with. That is natural public beauty. Public beauty/art, falls under the same category as human activity, nature, and environment structure, as well as murals and etc. When scavenging around New York City, I found my self attracted to how humans interacted with one another in such a confined space as well as what was with in the environment that I was in at that moment. I see human interaction as a natural public art. The way we hold and gesture ourselves when faced in public, rather than alone in the comfort of our home is seen as art to me. Such as when a baby lays its head along the breast of their mother, almost as if they are still in the womb of their mother. How the natural sunlight hits each fire escape and building window and brick. The manner in which each florals colors stand out so vibrantly in comparison to the dull shades of grey and brown which fill the city of new york. That is why I chose the following images.
