Before demolishing the plaster walls an artist-friend asked if she could take some of the pin-up girls that were plastered to the walls near where the guys used to work. She used a steamer and scraper to selectively remove some of the ladies that have been glued to the walls for decades.
Originally I had wanted to save some of these pictures, and thought about removing large portions of plaster to mount on a piece of hard board. However, the plaster is in crumbly condition and the pictures wouldn't remain intact.
This art project is one way to honor the past.
