this is a piece located on the ceiling of an elevator in an industrial plant. it has probably been in operation for 40 years or more. the marks were made by objects such as ladders, bits of metal, whatever. it is part of a job that was being done, somebody transporting something to or from a job. the marks were not made purposefully by hand.
i like it because it tells a story of time and peoples lives, and has a random energetic quality about it. it has a rhythm not unlike that of a strong wind stirring up a forest. yet it comes from an environment the complete opposite to that. it is anti-nature managing to become nature.
It reminds me of Anselm Kiefer- see below.
