Grey walls are on my brain. I've been seeing some interesting things popping up on the streets of Atlanta. Apparently there's an art conference called Living Walls: The City Speaks. There's a mural in Kirkwood (a neighborhood in Atlanta) that I pass a lot.
It's names after comes from a poem called "The Souls Bright Anchor" written by the 2012 U.S. Poet Laureate and Atlanta native Natasha Trethewey. I can't find the poem that inspired these, but I learned that this particular one inspired by the vital organs in the human body because the neighborhood is "pulsing with life".
It turns out that these are all over the place!
The four pictures are of a mural in Asheville, North Carolina put together by the RITES organization: http://ashevilleritesproject.blogspot.com/
