| artrovert #010: "nature is darkened by frowns" (#003 in the MONOTONIC collection) created on: 06 october 2003 left: on the wolf tree nature trail at discovery park, seattle, washington on: 08 october 2003 note: this one reminds me of how people take nature for granted, which is why i wanted to leave it in the forest. a policeman (in his car) left the parking lot at the park when i got there, but then he came back and sat in his car, watching me walk down into the woods with a camera and a strange "something" in my hand. i think he left once i came back out of the woods and drove away. i must have looked suspicious. i'm not sure how, but maybe i have that fugitive look... ha, i'm sure. medium: sharpie and watered-down acrylic on a small piece of matboard, 5.5" x 3.5" |

| the story: |
| Paul C. found #010 on 11 october 2003! Dear PP., I have discovered a piece of your work at the Wolf Tree Nature Trail @ Discovery Park (of all places). I'm a software programmer that moved here to Seattle (Belltown, to be specific) a couple years ago after graduating from the University of Florida. I really like the idea of artrovertism... this is the first I've heard of it. I'm thrilled to have found your artwork ; ) Thanks for everything! Paul P.S. I have larger versions of the attached pictures if you're interested : ) then i replied... Dear Paul, I am so excited that you have found #010! You are the only person who has ever responded so far (and that's including art that I have left in April, June, and July). I actually stopped by both of the Discovery Park sites yesterday to see if the artroverts were gone, and I was happy to see that both indeed were. There are only a few artrovertists out in the world (at the moment, I only know of three others; however, those people are not necessarily practicing artrovertism for the time being). Anyway, thank you so much for your pictures. I will post them and your story. Thank you so much for responding, and good luck to you in all your future endeavors. Sincerely, PP. |
