Plantago Lanceolata
Ribwort plantain, latin plantago lanceolata, at the corner of Sansome and Greene, in San Francisco.
Part of the Weeds series, the mural is based on a nearby spontaneously occurring wild plant.
This is an anamorphic mural, in which the image is designed so as to resolve into a continuous natural shape when seen from a specific direction.
The image skews and fractures into unexpected abstract art the further one moves from the key viewing angle.
A stencil on the ground, at some distance from the wall, marks the key viewing spot, from where the image looks most naturally proportioned and 3D.
