CADILLAC RANCH

Our very own Cheryl Lindberg went on a cross country journey and made a stop at the very amazing art installation in Amarillo, TX called the Caddillac Ranch. This icon of Americana Art is located out in the middle of the desert esoterically placed to match the angles of the Pyramids of Giza but with midcentury era Cadillacs placed into the soil like they had nose dived in. It dates back to the 70's and they encourage graffiti which is pretty cool because as a piece of art it is constantly evolving. Cheryl spotted people spray painting, a cool old man walking around asking odd questions, and the overall beauty of public art right of the freeway. She even threw up some of her own graffiti, an I Heart CA sticker, which kind of goes against the whole "Don't Mess With Texas" vibe but seeing as layers of paint are being added on the daily we don't have to worry. Check it out and if you get a chance to see it in the flesh..er steel do so!
