Mark Levinson
Extracts of the Ordinary
I am fascinated with odd and curious fragments of commonplace public spaces that normally go unnoticed. Discovered through careful attention to the mundane, these vignettes occasionally appear when potential strangeness momentarily blossoms into juxtaposition and serendipity.
The top of a red ladder peeks into an abstract architectural tableau. A puffy cloud forms a large hat on a small antenna. The shadow of an enormous flag peers down on an unsuspecting newspaper reader.
The ordinary, viewed through the lens of a particular imagination, can reveal unexpected outcomes.
