I often compare and contrast elements that I find placed on opposing sides of the corner of a wall. In this case, I contrast a rusting black metal newspaper receptacle set into the entrance of a local business to the sculptured head of a cherub placed at right angles to it. The open black metal box seems frozen in time, while the cherub’s head flows into the soft light from within a floral frame. The wall itself is painted bright red, and richly textured. The objects on the opposing sides of this corner make an incongruous pairing – the rusting box symbolizes disuse and decay, while the cherub speaks of eternal classical beauty.
