CITY VS. TAGGERS



Nice blocks of paint, not quite the color of the host building, are the City of Puyallup's attempt to beautify the Riverfront Trail. The "ugliness" of graffiti is replaced by the "ugliness" of miscolored geometry. The white block on one building would have worked better on the adjacent building. Likewise, its gray block would have been a better match for the previous building. Another building is bisected by color: ivory "terrain" and silver "sky."
