It has turned into an interesting social experiment.
This small town is economically divided. Half the people work for the government in one way or another. Police, Sheriff, Highway Patrol, Forestry, BLM, Fire department…
The other half is on welfare.
The well-to-do people HATE it. I have been flipped off by some of the city council officers. It’s anyone who is driving a new car dislikes my “art”.
The poor people LOVE it. They shake my hand and tell me to “Keep it up”.
When I retired, I had a desire to explore the art world. My first BIG project was this dictionary I tied to the table with chains. Title: Hard Bound, Bound Hard.
It is my interpretation of things like when you buy a John Deere tractor and they tell you you can’t work on it. You own it but it’s not yours. We are starved for knowledge but drowning in information.
How do your neighbors feel about this?
What neighbors? Any house that sold in the last TEN years was bought by some commercial endeavor. Rental, Airbnb, tax writeoff…
I don’t have neighbors, just some people passing through.
Either awesome or pissed
If awesome, great
If pissed, fuck em

So… it looks like I’m working for the poor man.
BLM? I’m non-USian, what do the initials mean in this context?
Bureau of land management. They look after the national parks and such
I can dig it. Keep fighting the fight brother
That’s honest work. Well done.

It’s more that I would worry about vandalism.
I caught vandals trying to paint over it. I won in court. They had to pay me for damages.
It’s making me money.
