In the context of Heimbold, our visual arts building, the small, sticker version of this will most likely have an entirely different interpretation to students\/staff than to the pedestrians who see the larger version at a bus stop. With that, the idea of &#8220;reframing&#8221; comes into play.<\/p>\n<p>This project was\u00a0a small triumph over the\u00a0feeling that I do not have the authority to effect my visual environment.\u00a0Advertisements impress the notion that I need, not only permission, but financial means in order to afford the &#8220;rent&#8221; of having a visual presence in the urban landscape. This project cost me $2.80. So it turns out I still did have to pay for my participation.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/astoryisnotatree.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/adbust4.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-253 \" src=\"http:\/\/astoryisnotatree.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/adbust4.jpg\" alt=\"adbust4\" width=\"580\" height=\"581\" srcset=\"https:\/\/astoryisnotatree.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/adbust4.jpg 640w, https:\/\/astoryisnotatree.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/adbust4-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/astoryisnotatree.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/adbust4-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/astoryisnotatree.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/adbust4-624x624.jpg 624w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Took my sticker design, printed it across 60 pieces of paper at the library and taped it\u00a0together.
