Meditation Series: (8/8) Selected Standpipes, San Jose (2017)

I found this really big standpipe next to a strip mall. It was gleaming! This representation doesn’t quite catch that quality, but the sunlight did reveal small details on the painted ironwork, which I inked in.

Meditation Series: (7/8) Selected Standpipes, San Jose (2017)

This array of standpipes gadgets was behind a restaurant. I wonder if this elaboration is needed for special fire suppressant needs of a kitchen.

Meditation Series: (6/8) Selected Standpipes, San Jose (2017)

Meditation Series: (5/8) Selected Standpipes, San Jose (2017)

Meditation Series: (4/8) Selected Standpipes, San Jose (2017)

This set of standpipes was aligned next to the road and across the parking lot from the building (supposedly) under its protection. At least the fire hydrant was close. Now and then I enjoy using water soluble pens to see how diffusion of the ink affects the composition. Please visit my Etsy shop for my […]

Meditation Series: (3/8) Selected Standpipes, San Jose (2017)

This sketch contains three standpipes (the reference photo has more). This brings to mind the topic of collective plurals. The a group of whales is a pod; together, owls are known as a parliament; wolves roam around in ‘packs’, and so on. I am entertaining suggestions for the collective plural of standpipes. What do you think?

Meditation Series: (2/8) Selected Standpipes, San Jose (2017)

This simple standpipe caught my attention. Four hoses can be connected to it. There must be a huge network of indoor pipes connected to it.
