Gas Cover and the Sealed Crack Line Around It is a companion piece to Sewer & Water Covers and the Sealed Crack Lines Around Them, and the Sewer Covers and the Sealed Crack Lines Around Them series, all inspired from walks in my neighborhood.

Crack sealing is a technique that seals street cracks to protect the asphalt from further deteriorating. I see it as mark making and find it inspiring.

Water Covers and the Sealed Crack Lines Around Them #1 and #2 are a two part series incorporating photos of water covers on the street in my neighborhood and the sealed crack lines around them.

Similar to gas covers, water covers are very small compared to sewer covers, the inspiration behind of a number of other paintings. The sealing of cracks around them dwarves their presence and one barely notices them.
