Title: The secret life of everyday things...
Post by: Lindorm on November 18, 2009, 04:07:52 PM
The artist Terry Border likes everyday things. Or, more correctly, the moments when those everyday things do things that are somewhat out of the ordinary -or perhaps just shows us how extraordinary a lot of ordinary humdrum really is.

Using mixed materials and techniques, he produces small installations and photos, often with a dry, wry and slightly surreal humour. Lots of interesting photos on his blog:

And he even sells some of his prints and objects on Etsy:

Take a look!

...but it's missing the next two (violent) images.

I love the one with the pencil bug and paintbrush fly!


I would love to have a couple of those sitting on my desk! :D

Cool site, L!

It inspires me to 'bend' some things around here.
