I spent an afternoon removing the staples out of an utility post in New Orleans in order to access
the wood under them.
Most utilty posts in this city are riddled with staples from various posters, I felt really
attracted by the idea that each of these rusty pieces of metal once carried a significant message.
Once I could reach the wood, I used block printing ink to get an imrint of this tree. I made two
copies, one remained on the utility post and I gave the other to my friend Wanda who was hosting me
in this city.
