Herron Hill water tower, Pittsburgh

A collection of antennas on top of the highest point in Pittsburgh? Or the second highest point in Pittsburgh? Depends on who you ask.

    I love the abstraction of your last two drawings.

    maybe abstraction isn’t the right term, but at least the ability to cause in the viewer a new perspective on an old thing. the ability to see with new eyes. etc.

    Oh, yes, Deron. “To see with new eyes” — surely an impulse underlying DrawMo!, the splendid project launched by India and abandoned by me even before it (or I) commenced.

    A splendid thing indeed. And a thing to which I hope to return.

    This is great, Elizabeth. I like the way some forms call to mind the strangest of associations. In this case, each time I look at this drawing I get a “James and the Giant Peach” feeling. Only now it is larger: that image taken out into the world of steel and concrete.

    [...] Looking toward Herron Hill from the Lawrenceville flats in Pittsburgh.  (I’ve also drawn this water tower from other angles.) [...]
