The Art of Work


When I realized the last two postings featured work (who plans these things?), I decided to continue the theme with another photo from Thompson's Mills. I'd been after this particular one for a while—other, temporarily immovable objects kept getting in the way—but last Friday I had my chance. What you see is the signature of decades of hard, repetitive work, etched into plywood flooring by the man who stood in that small space for over thirty years bagging products, stitching the fifty-pound sacks, and stacking them for transport. Though not a work of art, it's certainly the art of work.
