Psycho Heart
The whole reason I went to Prada Marfa was to see what the back of it looked like; I was distracted by this fine scene at first.
Then I saw this fence and graffiti.
And I sort of never did get the back-of-the-place shot that I intended. Some days are just like that.

What in the world could it POSSIBLY mean?! (Or, maybe, we don’t really want to know.)

Love the graffiti and the composition, Melinda. I get Psycho Heart, (without the = sign) as being in love makes us a bit like that, but Psycho equals Love (as the heart symbol is often read) is mysterious. Love equals psycho, I get!

It seemed a little bit like algebra, and I started to get flashbacks to Mrs. Dalyrimple’s class at Monterey High School. But I took a deep breath and everything was OK again.

Have just been reading about the Prada Marfa sculpture. It is fascinating! It reminds me of this artwork – http://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/victoria/hotel-artwork-to-cost-12m/story-e6frf7kx-1111114969352
It is so huge and imposing it is easy to think it is a real hotel but for its very narrow width. At night it is lit up like a real hotel would be. It isn’t the most attractive of sculptures but it is quirky and interesting. I wonder whether Prada Marfa came first and fed into our artist’s ideas or if they developed independently?

I loved it that the article you linked to used the word “folly” – that was my favorite word I learned on my one trip to England, in its use as “an ornamental building with no useful purpose.”
I think we’re both fans of quirky and interesting things, right?

It IS a great word, and it’s a shame I can’t work it into casual conversation.

Indeed, but I can work it into a blog post! Stand by for my next publication. 😊

And it has been so long, I have no idea if I ever did use ‘folly’ in a post, though I know I did in a draft, at least!

I’m thinking that’s what I’ll name my next cat. (But don’t tell my current cat that – she’ll get nervous.)

He he he ! I have no such qualms when I talk about what type of pooch I will be replacing the current one with. He understands that he will not live forever and so forgives me.

My poor cat – she’s had three names. Her original name (supplied by my son) is Balboa. Then my older granddaughter named her Balbo. And just the other day, my younger granddaughter started calling her Bubbles. So, it’s sort of a touchy subject around here…

Bubbles will stick, I predict. So cute! My dog responds to Snowy, (his real name), Poochie, and Fuzz Face. He has not expressed any preference for any of his names. Cuddles to Bubbles.🐈❤️🐈

The funny thing is that she’s exactly the opposite of a Bubbles: she’s sort of cranky. So, of course the name will stick.

By any chance could this be political graffiti? Or campaign signage done on the cheap?

Oh, no. I am sure it is Art. There were other things on the fence and some of those goofy love locks (http://10mosttoday.com/10-awesome-love-locks-locations-from-around-the-world/), too.

Oh, yes, I am pretty sure that’s what it was (meant to be). That doesn’t mean I understand it.
