"old, rusty paperclip" - a color photograph by eric Hews © 2014

I found this 2/3-sized, oxidized, thin-gauge paperclip jammed in between two joined pieces of wood in our 1950s-era (painfully tiny) kitchen junk-drawer. I imagine this paperclip to be older than me, although it exhibits an equal degree of rustiness.

 

Since it is older, perhaps, by a whole generation, I wanted to preserve its legacy before deforming it into something else entirely.

 

Possibly a dog.

 

Happy 4th of July, Dissonant States of 'Mericans. Try to stick together on the important issues, whatever the television and internet tell us those are.
