Concentration
What I'm focused on right now. One main thing, a few supporting things, and a list of what I've set aside so the main thing can happen.
Finishing the Main Street signage survey
Forty-one storefronts photographed, twenty-six written up. The goal for this season is to complete the remaining entries, map them, and publish the project page with a short essay on what the survey shows about language and ownership along one street.
Supporting work
- 01
Weekly walks, same route
Main Street from Terminal to 33rd, every Sunday, same time. Consistency makes change visible.
- 02
Interviews with three signwriters
Two are scheduled. The third has painted signs in the neighbourhood for thirty years and has not returned my call yet.
- 03
Reading on linguistic landscape
Working through the literature on signage and language policy so the essay stands on more than my own observations.
