Two-Dimensional Spectacles

There's a training school near here--the John Knox Vocational Institute--where the unemployed learn to drive steam rollers. Of course, steamrollers were created to crush, flatten, and pulverize everything in their path. It would be a mistake, however, to view the steamroller solely as a destructive device. As with most technologies, those in control of the tools determine whether they're used constructively or destructively.

The students at the John Knox Vocational Institute appreciate this distinction, and have created a small gallery of two-dimensional sculpture at the edge of the parking lot. That's where I found these and other lovely spectacles.
