At An Ambitious Project Collapsing, we found this beauty of a photo, part of the New York Public Library’s HUGE free digital archive. It is just one of Dinanda H  Nooney‘s images from 1970’s Brooklyn homes: Fran Orans. 4715 Surf Ave., Coney Island, Brooklyn, August 5, 1978.

Who is the amazing Fran Orans who so freely painted her wall? (We want to do that!)
