Scrapbook5


This marked door is located under the library overpass along the path. It is viewed by people everyday and sometimes people don't even realize its there. It caught my eye because it had markings all over it. The markings must have come from tape that held flyers up on the door. There are at least one hundred markings on it. Some from the tape and others seem to be scuff marks. What makes the marks even more noticeable is the fact that the door is red so the white marks show up a lot easier. A door usually invokes curiosity in a person because we all want to see what is behind it. The reaction of someone to a scuffed door may keep them from opening it as opposed to a clean door. A clean object will most likely be handled more than a dirty one. This is not art because there is no real meaning behind the marks on the door. The marks were made by accident and are not meant to express anything.
