The Secret Word Today: Scary. AHHHHHH!

In our ongoing series on the public art around Emeryville, there's these metal people populating the underpass on Powell Street leading to the freeway. They're all larger than life-size with cutouts specially lit to make for some interesting shadows at night.

 

Here's a nice man giving someone directions from a map.

 It's a map of Emeryville in case you were wondering. 

 

Here's a guy jogging with his dog.

Here's a lady in a wheelchair. I don't know if she should be traveling so fast...in the underpass...so close to the traffic.

The style reminds us of "Pee-Wee's Playhouse" somehow. Maybe it's the eyes. Or just the general awesome creepiness. We'll try to get over there at night. It's a little bit of a dicey walk . . . but totally worth it. You'll see.
