To the wall
Walls are ubiquitous as air... and almost as invisible. They are also huge, mostly inadvertent sculptures.
The ‘Brandt Walls’ of Berlin were created when bombed out adjacent building were demolished leaving windowless walls that were never intended to be visible facades. Now they seem like curiously oversized urban canvases and of course have proven irresistible to graffiti artists. I think of the few that remain unpainted as free standing art works in their own right.
Being resilient structures, walls last for decades and centuries while tolerating the insolence of entropy and acquiring the marks of history.
