Art in the Wild - ghost posters

As part of its modernisation and brightening/whitening, gloomy old Finsbury Park station, my local transport node, is putting in new tiling and getting rid of the accumulation of posters, probably to be replaced by light boxes. The paper traces make wonderful "found art" -




Ghostly, unintentional installation art ...

even your pictures would make a great piece of art work! Collage in the making aren't they! Very cool

I've just been taking photos of peeling poster boards on the Great West Road - perhaps it's the Season for it!!

These remind me of a wall I saw where some climbing plant (probably ivy) had been pulled off, leaving its outline where it had pulled off the paintwork. Sadly I didn't have my camera handy (or my present mobile phone which has one).
