One Man's Abandoned Digger is Another Man's Art
Rusty digger:
I just love the way the artist has used the digger like an empty canvas and let the rust eat itself into the overall design with such devastating spontaneity.
It's Art; neo-functional mannerism, cerebral but oblique.*
Or maybe just a rusty digger that pleases the eye.
* Quoted from the song The Party by Godley & Creme, because I couldn't have said it better myself.
As a kid, I used to love stuff like this. I'd spend a lot of time in surroundings just like this one. It was to think about the stories behind the abandoned machinery.
I also appreciated the somewhat post-apocalyptic feel that these sorts of things gave me.
Same here. How about abandoned metal work factories?
I can't say they were steel factories, but yes. Abandoned factories were among my favorite places to go and play in. I used my imagination to create, again, a post-apocalyptic story behind the place.
Personally I like the juxtaposition of the yellow against the red of the brick whilst the green grass objectifies the isness of all that might be such that the common observer is drawn into the illicit PROCESS OF DECISION-MAKING, WHERE THE OBJECT IS NEITHER THE OBJECT OF OBJECTHOOD NOR THE ART-OBJECT.
The bit in capitals I nicked from a real artist, the rest is all my own work! 😂
You would make a great art critic. Do you own a pearl necklace and glasses with a rope?
Sadly I do @ocrdu but the pearls were inherited and I've never warn them.
I used to use the rope on my glasses when I played squash but, since I know longer do that, it sits on the shelf most of the time.
I have been known to use it on sun glasses if I'm on a boat trip. 😁
Thank you for recognising my art critic talents. I mostly keep it them hidden.
Wear the pearls, put the rope on some reading glasses, let them dangle, and you'll be all set for some serious criticising work. Why hide it?
Great place to film some zombie apocalypse stuff. Haha.
it's inspiring and uplifting. A true masterpiece created by mother nature.
