Edward Tufte’s Philosophical Road Signs
Using the format of diamond signs that provide alerts and warnings about the road ahead, this series of works on canvas shows philosophical alerts, imperatives, and thoughts about the path past and future. This all started with real diamond signs made by a traffic sign company. I placed them along a curved road leading to my sculpture fields.
“Art is art and everything else is everything else” is Ad Reinhardt, and “Just show up” is supposedly something Woody Allen wears on a t-shirt.
