I was sort of struck by the gothic arches at Greenwood… it reminded me of the Brooklyn Bridge. I dug into my video archive to pull a still from the e-book Arc Along The Watchtower. It’s almost weird how well the two images combine. Given the importace of Greenwood as civic architecture, I wonder if Roebling was alluding to it with his bridge arches? At some level maybe Brooklyn meant Greenwood to a lot of people.
The arch thing is important in the big painting I’ve been working on… tentatively titled “Heroes”… mostly as the figure seems to be holding Bowie’s pose from that album. Anyway, here is a gif of that painting up till today. Now I’m throwing more arches into it and it seems to have broken the ice.
