The World as I Found It
As I was walking through the 204th Street A Train station in 'Upstate Manhattan,' I happened to see this. It's a panel where they hang posters. This is what happened after they took down the old poster and hadn't put the new one up.
Is it art?
Well to me it seems beautiful in a way. I wouldn't hang it over my couch but there seems to be artistry here. It arises from the interaction of random patterns left by bits of glue and old poster, and from the choices that someone made to 'decorate' the spaces in between--the random and the intentional.
Perhaps even more interesting is the way nature presents a mix of order and chaos without a visible artist. Having seen beauty arise from the work of artists, do we not require that God exists given so much beauty in nature?
By the way, check out this outrageous site from which I got this picture.
