Central Locking

beautiful image

Happy wednesday.

Thank you, Annemarie.

Omg, what´s this? Great found and shot!

I made it, but I don’t know what it is.

it looks very interesting! I like your work!

Haven't you lost a screwdriver?

Yes, Armando. If I could find one I’m sure I could put this back together. Can you send me one?

:)

Great stillife, Steve !

Thanks, Ulrich, but if I focus on the padlock it all seems to move around.

Well I, for one, wouldn't want the job of making a working, practical unit out of this lot! But a fascinating image!

Yes, I think it’s too late for that.

Your magic DIY packaging, Steve!
Some pieces are missing ... possibly already in your hands
Chaos in a box!

No room for any more pieces, Judite.

Zip-a-dee-doo-dah, zip-a-dee-ay !

a great lesson on how to reverse the entropy of the useful bits box

[Edit: it really is an engrossing image, I've spent about the last 10minutes enjoying this full size]

Reversing the entropy is good, or taking the entropy in a different way.
I enjoyed finding these, though they weren’t collected by me. As you say, Andy, the cornucopia of different forms is mesmerising.

loving this! i wish all my items were on display like that, then my junk drawer would be a happy place.

just read your comment that you made this - did you only lay them out for the photo, or did you glue things down? so creative!

Put them all together in a photograph! These were laid out on a concrete floor; they’re all back now in dusty tins on dust filled shelves.

That's incredible! Do you use them for something other than photographs sometimes?

A friend of mine did a grouping of ephemera from her late father's junk drawer. Pieces of memory all put together and glued onto a backing and framed. She did 3 of them so she could give 2 to her siblings.

But sometimes objects like these are nice to hold in one's hand!

No, Laura, all these are borrowed objects, though I do think they make a compound portrait of myself and the other person...and the viewer too, even, as they interpret what they see...or don’t.
Yes, I think there’s a physical, sculptural aspect for the maker, feeling the weights, shapes and intricate forms. Those collages sound like great, loving gifts.

klasse, ich müsste auch mal wieder meine Werkstatt aufräumen und dann so ein schönes Stillleben herrichten.
Gefällt mir richtig gut
