Here we see some chemical weathering on the copper pipes in my basement. The moisture that tends to accumulate at the joints of the pipes mixes with the copper and forms copper oxide, which is typically a blue/green in color.

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.
This picture was taken at the bottom of the stairs at my apartment complex. I am about to turn my bike and take it up the stairs. As you can see from the water spatters on my boots, it has been raining. I think I was in a bit of a hurry to get home when I stopped and decided to take this shot instead. I'm glad I took the time to slow down. I like the colors here and the contrast between the natural (rust) and the mechanical (bike) and the human (me).
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!
The bridge near Beverly Beach is in dangerously eroded condition, and explanatory signs nearby described the extreme salt water spray conditions faced by equipment left there. This chain link fence did a beautiful job of visually explaining the dangers.
BTW, tetanus is not caused by rust itself, but bacteria often contained in fecal matter. The reason it is associated with rust is that it often collects on nails that pop up in barns where bovine fecal matter is present.
Just thought you'd like to know. It was one of those things I was always wondering myself.
