Metro Jungle

Wilmington, NC 

Walking along the sidewalk, in Wilmington NC, I strolled upon a chickenwire fence decorated with keys. 

The fence seems to be an attempt to contain the wild flowers that are gradually creeping their way sunward. 

I looked at it for a while.  Wondering why and how and who.... 

 Most people probably wouldn't call it art, but I do. 

 I think that's exactly what art is supposed to do...make the viewer wonder all kinds of things. 

 Take the viewer somewhere else completely. 

 I love the contrasty combo of flowers growing wild and metal fencing (used for small farm animals and other odd structures).     

Add the keys, and you get a whole new layer of mystery.

 Would love to know the story behind it...but I am also afraid it won't be as good as the ones I make up!
