Urban Dwell

posted by Anthony

There is something about being an urban dweller that sensitizes me to pause and take in any serenity that might chance to interrupt the din of horns, fumes of exhaust, unnerving pace of public transportation and the late-night drunken-bitching of bar-goers who’ve had one drink too many. Such serenity can be found in a simple thing. In fact, the most simple of objects can at times be the most imposing.

This beautiful piece was spotted on a stroll around my neighborhood. What was once a chair has been recast as a four-legged flower bed. It’s really just some plants growing on some vintage furniture in the middle of the street, but it has both the form (pleasant and uncommon) and function (recycles and plants) of good art. We appreciate that at Peel Pages — that the things worth noting are not necessarily loud, complex or inaccessible.
