Urban Intervention Site

I have chosen a site for my vinyl sticker. The focal point being an old and decaying cross beam right next to my locker. This beam seems like a very important piece of the schools architecture and I find it a little but disconcerting that I can easily break chunks off of it. For my urban intervention assignment I would simply like to draw attention to this decaying piece of the schools structure. I would like people to notice, consider, and wonder what may or may not occur if this old cross beam were to fall apart. To do this, I have created an image that will grab peoples attention. An old and decrepid face to match the beam. Upon closer inspection I would like people to notice that the eyes within the old face are looking at the wooden beam ( I havent filled in the eyes in my image yet, and thus shifting their attention to it.

I’m also playing with the idea of having two layers of vinyl. One, a simple grey shape, and the second consisting of all the black linework. By layering the black over the grey I would be creating a more interesting image. However, I’m also considering whether or not its better to have the wall be visible and act as the skin for the face. Furthermore, having two layers would be twice as much work, and I would have to add some kind of registration marks to make the two images line up with more ease.

Additionally, I will have to check the exact size the vinyl cutter can do. If it’s not very large I may have to cut my image in half to make it work.
