There is something primitive and almost compulsive about leaving one's mark on walls. They did it in caves before there was writing. Ron's shown us aboriginal wall art. Here is the version one sees in the cities of the American northeast.

I guess we all have to leave our markings somehow...no matter how bad it looks lol Nice textures and and processing...really like that film look!
ReplyDeleteEven though I am a linguist, I can't translate Grafittieze, at all. The Aboriginal Rock art isn't marking territory though, they are history books. I have heard reports this week that they have uncovered one in the Northern Territory that was created approx 80,000 years ago, what were your anscestors doing then? or mine for that matter. Next time you see Aborigine Dot art. be aware that they are like aerial maps. The circles are waterholes (Important in the second driest continent on Earth) and the lines are the tracks between water, Survival at Work - Not Tagging. Sorry for the lecture, but it justifies your theme, shame that the primitaves are so much more advanced than us Moderns! LOL
ReplyDeleteIt is a survival of sorts...modern graffiti....
ReplyDeleteI like the textures in this image. It has a great depth, also.
ReplyDeleteI like how you processed this photo. I guess there is something in all of us about wanting to leave our mark. "Kilroy was here"
