: New:

Some things I saw on my walk in #SanFrancisco this morning.

The simple geometric-form murals have been up at the new public housing building at Haight/Stanyan for a while, but I finally noticed the piece of paper that says they're the work of Jenifer Wofford et al. Looking at her web site, I think most of her work tends to depict real-world things instead of geometric abstractions. I'm guessing that the public housing folks, tired of listening to the local poor-people-hating neighbors' complaints said, "Please give us the most unobjectionable design you can." Anyhow, check out her website for not-so-abstract stuff.

A geometrical construction rendered in sidewalk chalk near Hippie Hill.

A fork in the path at Heroes' Grove on a foggy day.

wall with mural consisting of different-colored circles on a background of a geometrical regular wave. Below, some still-under-construction pavement and a traffic cone. To the side, a window with a little piece of paper; if this image were higher resolution, you'd see that the paper tells you that Jenifer Wofford and others made the mural in the foreground, a sidewalk wiggles between a field and a grassy hill. drawn on the sidewalk in colored chalk are some circles and arcs which form a hexagonal construction suggesting triangles. in the background, trees obscured by thick fog. really thick fog. would you believe me if i told you there's a dog and a dog-walker back there? fork in a path among redwood trees. the path is 'paved' with wood chips and needles. looking up, you can see the treetops, but they're kinda obscured by fog
