monday 5/20

without access to my car, I could not transport the large boards to school to work, so I decided to work from home today and come in to school tomorrow instead.

I worked at home in the morning. I sprayed 2 layers to the last stencil on the 50's section of the baby crawling away from the atomic bomb.

This will balance the aesthetic organization of the piece as a whole while adding to the representation of "tacky materialism".
