the image on the top is from an american home magazine from the 1930's. unfortunately i forgot to notate what issue and exactly what year it is from. the image, from an article on home gardening, attracted me initially simply because of the drawing style, which i think is pretty great.
while clearing some clippings off my studio desk this morning, i found the image again, and i realized how much the wedge shaped troughs reminded me of an early richard serra piece, Gutter Corner Splash: Late Shift, 1969/1995, where he threw hot lead into corners of a room, with the final installation consisting of the lead corners strewn on the floor. the piece is owned by sfmoma, and i remember seeing it installed a few years ago. there's more info here, including some nice little quicktime movies.
