Streetscape:
found images

Eileen Blyth
Project Proposal:

Through the process of discovery I will capture “found images” collected from Main Street. There are interesting elements that we pass by everyday without looking up or down to notice. There are all sorts of metal, concrete, wood, and ceramic objects. These visuals have their own unique colors, textures and stories.  Some images tell their story. Others leave it to our imagination. Still others have a recorded history.

Participation
I have set up this web site to record my process and to incourage community interaction. I will add a gallery and blog to collect your images and thoughts or memories. A section of the Main Street installation will be reserved for submitted images.


Excersise
The location of my images can be provided  for discovery upon request or students can  be encouraged  to find the location of the images with a family member or classmates.

Classroom
Ask your students to collect their own images. Send me the photograph or post it to the site blog. During the Exhibition period I will add students images to my installation.

Through this project  I become more intrigued with what is, was and can be for our Main Street.
