Billboard Art Project: timing

The concept of time is interesting. Do things work out for the best, or is it just that it all works out?


Thursday night we stood outside the hotel waiting for the Billboard Art Project to begin. We waited and waited, and, for someone who has now lived in SoCal for a long time, it was cold. We decided to get some sleep. The couple of time I woke up that night I peeked out our window to see if the project had started, it had not. Around 7:20am Michele could see from her bed, that the project was up and running. We got up, showered, had breakfast and went out to watch. David let us know that NPR, KPCC, would come over and do some interviewing.


While he was there Michele's work came up and she was interviewed. It was all very exciting.


We took a little break, my work was approximately 1.5 hours in the rotation after Michele's, and I needed more layers on. We went back down and as my work approached a crane showed up with to men to work on the billboard. Now, I got excited. My work popped up, and they were up there working on it. I could the urge to go up on the crane, and walk the plank around the billboard. Then they moved a ladder in front. I loved it. I really do enjoy the intervention of life.


Timing was prefect!
