Alexandra Grant's Delusional Brothel Sign

I agree the reasons the useless caged Logo didn’t go through is because she’s delusional and out of touch with reality and the logo is structurally unsound. In the L.A. Times article by Jori Finkle, it states “The idea of a Love sculpture -- too heavy for the house -- was ultimately reconceived as a Love bench.” Too heavy means structurally unsound and the architect assigned to the house would let her know that. 

But the community also protested. Imagine having that ugly thing in the neighborhood. It’s basically a brothel sign. 

The community protest is written in the L.A. Time Blog called “Watts House Project lands $370,000 Grant" published September 20, 2011.

Exact quote: “One of the private homes on East 107th Street that the Watts House Project is working on has been dubbed the “Love House.” The design plans had called for planting a large sculptural landmark on its roof –- the word “love,” enclosed in a circle. But objections arose in the community,  House Project board member Eliane Henri said,  including concerns that the sign could detract from the Watts Towers. Now the design by artist Alexandra Grant is destined to be earthbound, framing a bench on the home’s front lawn.”
