rusted cans of paint on an old wooden structure

A study in the beauty of decay. These photos of rust were taken on a day I learned that a family member had been diagnosed with cancer. I'm sure I departed from my usual practice of photographing beautiful landscapes in an effort to remind myself that you can find beauty even in decay if you look deeply enough. The subject is rusted corrugated aluminum sheets.

Seems an lot of it on our Alexanders this spring. A lot more than usual, the Romans found not be eating it for their veggies in this condition!

Today, I was on a Walking Tour of Glasgow and we spent sometime in the Riverside Museum which is a new development for the previous Glasgow Museum of Transport and this is just a little part of a very old steam train - very rusty although it did look like it could still steam down the rail track!

2006 December 27 - Rust along the left back corner of the Nissan Sentra's trunk hood. Water would seep in and drip into the trunk, yuck. No "before" pic available. I tried aluminum tape but it curled and water stayed underneath it. Then I tried spray painting the rusted areas with Rust-o-leum Hammered bronze paint. Works great so far! If it starts leaking again, I'll try caulking around the rubber seal edge.

Rust and decay at its finest hour!

This piece was started previously in Art 520 - see that set to see how it looked prior to the rubbings. I rusted the fabric by placing it with rusted found objects and applying a vinegar/water mix. That gave it a wonderful, aged texture. This semester, in revisiting past pieces, I decided to add more marks to it through using oil based paint sticks and doing rubbings of some of my linoleum blocks and other found textured items. I look the overlapping and transparency created in the layers. Once again, I'm fascinated by the whole concept of creating layers in my artwork due to how I see them as a metaphor for life.

Rust. Washed up shipping container.

It bothers me a lot that there's a difference in the clouds either side of the handle, but that's just the way it was!

I drive or walk past this delightful old relic nearly every day, and each time I think "one of these days I need to take a picture of that before it disappears..." Today was the day!
