Good Impressions - DIRT IS GOOD? YES, SOMETIMES IT IS

摘要

When dirt can be used as a readily available and largely biodegradable medium for artistic expression or advertisements, it gains merit. Dirt can always be washed away after serving as a component of an objet d'art. Clark Proctor, general manager and vice president of Alabama Water Blasting, Oneonta, AL, alerted us to a growing trend in reverse graffiti removal and stenciling. His company, for example, is preparing to add the category of services to its repertoire. Following a lead provided by Proctor, we contacted Mike Jansen, a team member at GreenGraffiti, Toronto, ON. He explains the Canada-based firm began on the opposite side of the Atlantic Ocean. "The company was started in Amsterdam by Jim Bowes," says Jansen. "At the time, he was working for a design firm and was asked to come up with a green way to extend a client's existing outdoor media messaging."
