What On Earth Might That Be?

I’m putting together an Art Installation, with the title of RUST & FOUND, and have been taking photographs of what I’m doing, particularly featuring new items added.

Photo I took ofmost recent panel added to Art Installation

This may look a bit odd, but that’s fine, because, let’s face it, I prode myself of being a bit odd! I have a strong dislike of the idea of being considered ‘ordinary’!

So the items in the photograph are the rusty wire fence (including barbed wire and metal fence post), two metal shiny long and thin something, a smaller but much heavier metal piece, the latest piece which is ‘capping’ for something or other, then there is a beer can which particularly was of interest because someone had cut a 5cmX5cm piece from the can for some unknown reason(weirdly interesting to me, of course), then, below that long capping piece is an extremely piece which is likely very old — a seat from a horse-pulled buggy of come kind. Then after that, is a hmm, I really have zero idea of what on earth that item is!

I’m loving both finding, and putting on display items that I know the use of, and these strange and wonderful things I know nothing about! In terms of numbers, I have far more bottle caps from beer bottles than anything else in this Art Installation. That probably gives an indication about a number of things about the community I live in.
