walking to meet a friend for lunch today, i noticed that the smeary windows of a defunct dim sum joint looked different.
at first i thought they'd been drawn on, but actually, they were creating pictures by rubbing off the cruddy whitewash that had been slapped up to mask the goings-on inside.
instead of layering things up, it was taking away that made this so lovely.
i stopped to chat to the guy as he worked. i thanked him for making this ugly corner a bit prettier, and he told me that tomorrow night they're opening a new bar-restaurant-art space there.
take away the depressing dim sum place and you've got a new space full of potential. rub away some paint to make a new picture. reduce and have more.
i like it.
