Imagine, if you will, having a whole region at your disposal, but you only have an hour (or so) to turn it into a work of art. Eshi Otawara did. Her blog post explains more, but she built this entire region-sized poem with only the letters r, o, g, u, and e to start with, left over from an earlier project. (Eshi, by the way, is the person who ran the marriage proposal poem contest I won a while back).
I don’t think I could make a single letter in an hour (at least not ones that looked this good). What’s more, the whole thing is really Art with a capital A. Extending the poem along the ground, the positioning, the use of different text colors… wow.
These one hour builds only stay up for a couple of days, hence the quick bog posting. I wanted you to see this one before it disappeared. But if you don’t read this in time, don’t worry. There will probably be something equally stunning in it’s place. Which gives you a reason to keep coming back, doesn’t it?
No pressure, Eshi.

That was great Garth, thanks for blogging about it and dropping by to tell us at the Shelter. Four of us went over to check it out.
