the life of a shadow

So, about a year ago I watched this documentary online, about a Brooklyn artist named Ellis G. who does chalk outlines of shadows. I thought his work was amazing … and the other day I was walking to the subway, and there they were!

Making something impermanent (light) into something semi-permanent but also evanescent in its own way (chalk) is just such a cool commentary on medium. Also a neat way to make people see things in a different way. I love shadows!
