Urban Sketchers

 

Jim Sweitzer, Ike from Lombard

Most urban sketchers normalize.

Taking whatever weird thing is in front of them,

 they process it, like sausage, into something that might be expected.

The pieces I like do the opposite.

Rachel Grossman, Trailside Museum

Love the irregularity of the railing.

And all those fortuitous triangles. 

Sondra Pfeffer , Salvage Company

A nice spirit of gentle anarchy.

Sandra Beaty, Caldwell Lily Pond

Well - Ok - this is a piece of sausage.

But it’s my favorite brand,  Cezanne.

This would not have been out of place in his recent show on Michigan Ave.
