monday's are the most hectic day of the week with 6-8 hours of class/labs (depending on whether i can wake up/stay awake lol) and so it was nice finishing my lab prep a few minutes early and having a chance to poke around mclennan a bit.
i've always thought the geometry of these chairs would look cool shot in a deep perspective but the coke can really did it for me.
An unattractive yet sturdily built chair abandoned deep in the forest. The forest thicket where I found this was near a few homes but in an undeveloped lot. I was surprised at its durability in the moisture of New Brunswick forest.
all the Beachcombing series photos are available on my website and through my Etsy shop (links in my profile.)
Bought the table for five bucks... can you find the turtle...I used agate, stained glass, pebbles, shells, fossils
Rock climbing? Maintain three points of contact! Working at height? Climbing or descending stairs? Yeah, the same, three points… For a blow-moulded plastic horse? Three points of contact looks like it's working for this one!
You what? Found a blow-moulded plastic horse? Among the bronze Rodins and steel Gormley Angel of the North Maquette? I might have made a mistake!
When is a plastic toy a misplaced treasure? Is it a found object? Was it discarded? An objet d'art, or an installation?
Three points of contact is a safety mantra. Ought I play it safe, take that lesson into this discussion? Am I on Candid Camera, security camera…? Is this a blow-up Banksy-style social statement about loss of innocence, redemption, the evils of globalisation, live and let live? Am I overthinking it — cogito, ergo sum? Artists statements do it all the time, "they" say. I don't even know who the shadowy "they" are.
Play it safe! Just walk away. If it is art, this photo might be famous as its first discoverer. If it's a kids lost toy, it might help them find it… Maybe it's a rocking, ridin' rodeo — a horse's "Rs"?
This art doll, mixed media assemblage is made with found objects that I have etched, patinated or otherwise distressed. She is riveted together and features one of ingeniouslycreative's gorgeous polymer cab faces. OOAK signed and dated on back.
The Trypoddity is a partially HG Wells inspired creature that is a member of my slowing growing carnival. It is in an electrically lit jewelry box and has three light settings: yellow, blue and yellow/blue combo.
