New Wall Art Collection
~
back when we had a dacha in moscow (a small wooden summer house on the outskirts of town), i used to have a friend named mitya. and me and him would love to flatten stuff on the train tracks.
coins, screws, nuts, nails, keys.
you'd wait for a train to appear and lay out your materials onto the metal lines.
the train would whoosh and you'd run around and collect your art.
then go find more stuff to flatten.
I thought this was just a thing kids did in russia, but recently i visited my friend in vermont. we were walking across these train tracks and i asked him if he’d ever flattened stuff as a kid. he said, yeah.
