Canal Street Cutaway

22 April 2011 4 Comments

One of the many things that amazes me about New York City is that the people occupy it vertically. I know it is only logical but when you allow yourself to conceptualize how strange it is that we stack up so high and dig down so deep to maximize the footprint of our occupancy, it’s odd. Similar to the many layers of our Earths crust, NYC has uniquely distinct layers in of itself buzzing with ant-like anxiety, pumping harder than the heart of Pig Pun eating all-you-can-eat brunch buffet at Sue’s Rendezvouz. Check out this intrinsically detailed miniature of a cutaway corner on Canal Street in what appears to be the mid-80′s created by artist Alan Wolfson. I know I have been posting quite a bit of doll house-ish miniature material lately but I assure you it is purely coincidental and not a relapse to my childhood doll-absorbed days. (I’ll always love you Calvin Reggie).

Make sure and take a minute to check out his website. It is loaded with 30 years of truly incredible work.
