i frequently monitored the canvas within the first few days of installing it. in this time, no one contributed to the piece. this was discouraging and i was worried no one would contribute for the entirety of the installation. luckily people did start drawing eventually. the drawings were clearly drawn in different styles indicating that several people contributed.
when looking at the piece, one notices that none of the drawings overlap. this could be because people did not want to infringe on someone else's space.
an addition i did not expect was extra tape around the corners to reinforce the canvas.
if i were to do this piece again, i would have a higher quality canvas on a stand. with the high risk of this installation being taken down, i went with much cheaper materials.
overall i thought this piece was successful. although i am upset that the charcoal was stolen, i am glad that no one vandalized the canvas.
