    This picture sends a huge message. If the church in the background was not there, it would not hit as hard. The building gives the message more context, and the cross seems to be glowing, too, which makes it even more dramatic. It is a slower read for me only because of the text-on-top-of-text on the stop sign. I can tell it is black text, so I know the contrast is more visible in person.

    I love the boldness of the statement and in-your-face placement on the stop sign. As Cerena mentioned above, it looks like it was placed in front of a church, creating even more of a dialogue with the location. Many people attending church praying for it to help them in some way. I imagine such a person could be very affected by seeing your work. Powerful work!

Project 2 Response Questions

In what way did you change your process to make a piece that was site specific?      Originally, I had a lot of other ideas that I was tossing around for this project.  I think I was thinking too much on making a statement with vinyl than with working with the space.  I went back to probably my first idea that I put down on paper, because I realized how I really could work with  the words on a road sign.  Then I was thinking about the message and how much I wanted the sign to be able to be seen at a church for how fitting it seemed contextually.  I think that the words "THIS is the sign you've been praying for" seem more profound on a physical sign, and then even more so in front of a church.   How did you challenge yourself creatively, conceptually and/or technically  in the making of this piece? If you did not feel challenged is there something you would do differently if you were to do it again?      I have never really made art, working with a space before s
