Objet Trouve – The Bonymaen Venus
Wiki Definition - Objets trouves can mean:
Found objects, use of an object which has not been designed for an artistic purpose, but which exists for another purpose already, in arts including music and sculpture
Found art, an art movement founded by Marcel Duchamp which uses undisguised, but often modified, objects that are not normally considered art materials
I found some items in my late father-in-law's toolbox. I have no idea of their name or real use but I am considering mounting them for display. One item in particular reminded me of the Venus de Willendorf and I’ve had some fun creating a few images with it. The whole subject of the Venus figurines is a fascinating subject in itself and whilst mainly European it does span continents. I have seen examples from Asia, Japan and North America.

I love this city for the exploration and discovery of such weird and wonderful things.

God rescued us through Christ's death on the cross.
I can never resist the fascination of noticing how objects, when unused, kind of change their nature, as if they weren't themselves anymore.

An interesting array of colors on this weathered building. I like the red and orange of the bricks and the way they appear to leap out from the blue. Objects like this appear to store information of time passed. Their worn surfaces read like pages of a good book. Only those who were there know the real facts about who, what, when, etc... We can speculate and guess our own tales to fill in the blanks.

Provenance:
Notes: As a member of the aristocratic Jockey Club established in 1833, Louis-Jean Delton was primarily interested in photographing horses. In 1861, he set himself up as an equestrian photographer in Paris under the name Delton J. & Cie. Although he photographed a range of individuals, from clowns to European royalty, his accomplished images of animals were the works that gained him renown. Around 1886 Delton dropped the "& Cie" from his trade name and began to produce albums of animal photographs. From 1889 until 1894, he published a newspaper in which he reproduced many of his own horse-racing images. After moving to Nice in 1896, Delton made photographic studies of stopped motion for a book advertising artificial light.

Objects of Desire: Surrealism and Design 1924-Today
(October 2022 – February 2023)
Delve into the dreamlike relationship between Surrealism and design in this century spanning celebration of Surrealist objects of desire.
Curated with Vitra Design Museum, the exhibition explores design from the birth of surrealism in 1924 to the current day; spanning classic Surrealist works of art and design as well as contemporary Surrealist responses.
The exhibition uncovers how one of the 20th century's most influential movements came to impact design through its questioning of the conventional and its commitment to exploring the mind, unconscious and mystical.
It brings together the best in Surrealist design, from furniture, interior design, fashion, photography and world-renowned artworks from Surrealist pioneers such as Salvador Dalí, Dora Maar, Man Ray, Leonora Carrington and Lee Miller, through to contemporary artists and designs, such as Schiaparelli, Dior, Björk.
The result is an exhibition filled with playful, curious and poetic objects that uncover the rich history of Surrealism and its fascinating influence on design.

It is very rare for me to make a piece of jewellery which directly references another piece of jewellery... last week I saw a not-very-good video online about Coco Chanel's designs for diamond jewellery and felt that one piece in the video HAD to be reinterpreted in my own way. A quick burst of research - I'm still reading her biography - and some drawings and I'm off!
The cogs in these photographs came from "Construction Junction" in Pittsburgh and I've wanted to use them since I found them in summer 2012 but haven't really know for what. I only have six of them and have been saving them for something special.
As it is a piece referencing Chanel, it also needed to have sewing-machine needles.

Unidentified Frozen Object. A result from blowing bubbles at 4 degrees F.
I can't tell you how many bubbles it took to get one like this without popping or floating around with a distracting background or shooting one that turned out to be out of focus.
This intriguing brass doorlike object was passed down my family. It was probably made by my great great great grandfather, Henry William GEORGE (1811-1887) who worked as a tinman/whitesmith/brazier at the Gogmore Lane Foundry in Chertsey, Surrey.
