This would actually hit pretty hard as an art exhibit.

    It would also hit hard if you took some of the bricks and started throwing them at people's heads.

    Some art pieces change the way you see the world by opening your eyes to new perspectives, others do it by inflicting acute trauma to the occipital lobe.

    This is infuriating for a very specific-to-me reason.

    For the life of me I can not find anywhere that will just sell me 'plain red bricks'. But I keep seeing them everywhere like they are worthless trash.

    You don't have local red clay do you?

    None that we have found on our little 6acres.

    Yeah red bricks are a classic but the color of bricks is tied to mineral composition in local clays. If you've got nice ferrous clays nearby you can get some of that classic English and new English red brick without having to ship it. Meanwhile elsewhere you may have something like Chicago's yellow brick, or New Mexico's "use a different material if you don't want to pay out the ass shipping bricks across the continent".

    Local architecture styles will use local materials and barring some really weird situations (like that part of Arizona where the local material was petrified wood) that'll be the cheap and abundant resource available to you. Though there's always concrete

    None of the classics like Lime or Slate. Pathetic.

    Not OP but one of my chosen personal values to live my life by is actually literally to make the world a weirder place.

    (sorry to advertise my comm here but this fits the post of the week and I like to think promoting a mental health comm is for a good cause)
