This is Armsrock. This post isn't really dedicated to a single piece of public art mostly due to the artist's personal philosophy that the world is constantly changing and the inevitable decay of works and ideas is part of a natural flow. Although he isn't usually funded by a company or a program to make his works, I still consider his pieces to be public art in the sense that it reaches out to the people passing by and occasionally inspires the thought that we, ourselves and people that we do and do not know, are the makeup of society and what gives the city its character even if we often don't interact with one another. I also enjoy the fact that he doesn't care if his pieces are washed away or overwritten. It sheds light on the thought that what we create isn't eternal and that we shouldn't get offended should something else take its place. I don't really know if this is something other people would consider as public art, but I do.

I would definatily consider this public art. It's not so much the works I'm concerned with, (not to say they lack craftsmanship) but rather the artists philosophy on the erosion of all things through natural order and time. The idea shown through this is brilliant. Bravo.
