Die-cut “U” bolted to brushed sheet, spray fall-off haloing the edge.Stencilled numerals bleed through wall render, ghosted under hairline cracks.Two paired punctures in flat sky-white, floating above a hard horizon line.A single spray bloom, drip tail run out to a hardened bead.Paint mark trailing off — bloom, stem, and a second bloom cropping in below.Three marks in a loose constellation, each bleeding into its own drip.Underside of a painted edge — run-off fingers meeting a raised rivet head.Crossed strokes converging to a point — gesture standing in for sign.The three-mark constellation again, closer — a second pass at the same ground.Internal Life of Signs · 01/09
