Covers

Most manhole covers are round to protect us from falling in when open.  Your elbows and hands can catch on the side, stopping your fall.  You’re invited to walk my rug of covers I’ve photographed from my travels.  The industrial world often embraces an intriguing design.  This is one way I experience my sense of place.

The covers: manhole covers, utility covers, drains, and decorative tiles.  These covers are exhibited on a printed canvas rug to be walked on.  22’ X 4′.  They are also available as single prints and in ladder commissions.
