D. Bill, “Folk Art”


[D. Bill, “Folk Art.” Wood poles. 1997–1998. As seen at Meadowbrook Park, Urbana, Illinois. “Folk Art,” with quotation marks, is the title. Click for a larger view.]

I like the way the U mirrors the mouth.

In 1993 D. Bill, Darwin Bill (1922–2012), was the subject of a Chicago Tribune story. Here’s a public Facebook page for D. Bill’s art. And here’s an account, with photographs, from someone who went to see him.

I like that the "YOU" is another face.

I’m trying to see it but missing it. The Y as the eyes and nose?

I wondered also if the smile suggests the viewer’s reaction to the turned-down mouth.
