Scale Model by Adam Grayson

December 12th, 2007 5:48 AM

INSTRUCTIONS: Reproduce a famous work of art on a scale at least two orders of magnitude different from the original.

I had to jump on this one right away. I decided early to make something big, smaller. Making something large quite a bit larger was a terrifying prospect. A Mountain Dew can, for example, is five and a half inches taller. Increasing that by two orders of magnitude is forty-five feet tall... not possible.

I opted to shrink that most recognizable of objects, the Washington Monument in Washington, DC.

*I opted for Dollar Bills for social commentary. Not sure what that means, but you might.

+ larger

The Washington Monument
Monument Blueprints
Washington
Cap'n
More Cap'n
Plottin' and Jottin'
Hand over your heart, please...

It probably means that the secret and mystical symbols (large and small) that cover our currency and allude to the secret societies and rituals of the masonsare well-founded in D.C. ....the same groups that own and run everything!

Good choice!

The Washington Monument is the most useful navigational wang on earth.

Navigational wang!

That's neat, and quite the appropriate media.
