Other Hugh Margerum projects...
As a riff on Magritte’s famous pipe painting, and other versions (Banksy), I installed my Grandpa’s actual pipe on a utility pole in Santa Barbara’s Funk Zone.
I took my Grandpa’s pipe, sanded it down on one side, affixed it in a frame, mimicked Magritte’s lettering, and mounted it high on a utility pole in Santa Barbara’s Funk Zone. It was there for a couple years and may have been noticed by a few observant souls. It is now gone.
