Coiled Awkwardity

All My Links

 

This is another from the barges along the A100 in Berlin. I like how the top most stem of the rope is not aligned with the rest, as if to suggest that rebels rise to the top by being so awkward to rule, which I really appreciate! There is also, so often, something so timeless about this kind of monochrome render, but when we see ropes, tools and materials done in such a way, the common image is of historical and timeless labouring, hard work and real men!

 

Years ago, I was once a farm labourer in North Wales (Tremorfa Farm) and I absolutely loved manual labour; more so that I am reminded I feel by today's generations that Generation X, were the last of the muck and muscle labourers of men who behaved like men and weren't offended by everything, we just got on with it!

 

I hope everyone is well and so as it's Friday tomorrow we've made it, so as always, thank you! :)
