Forty years, or more, ago a European folk singing duo named Nina and Frederick complained of the regimentation of Homo Suburbanii in a song called “Little Boxes”.
Since then there have been so many similar complaints the whole situation has become a cliche.
So there was no surprise when I saw this;
With its vaguely Hebraic or Arabic scriptal overtones, this “arch” is “an abstracted figurative [is this a redundancy?] work with positive and negative space and symbolic forms.”
I think it was the creator who was abstracted. I keep attempting to find the humanity in this. I can’t even find the humour! Not even in the $49,000 price tag.
Finally for today is this rather strange invention; the “pot wagon”.
How you can be true to the material when that material is copper, resin with fibreglass and stainless steel is a question I would prefer to remain unanswered.
At $35,000 surely it deserves a better collection of words than, “I would like to carry the beautiful sky to your mind.”
Oh!
THAT sort of “pot”!
Tomorrow I post some works I found interesting.
I always like to end on a positive note.
I refuse to comment further … it’s obvious I’ll never convince you. And I rather like the pot … 😉
But I am one of teh great unwashed – It is your DUTY to convince me – – –
And the Pot was empty – obviously Cottesloe people also like the pot 😉

The first two I like; the last, I just don’t get. What IS the point?
We plebs are condescendingly told that there doesn’t need to be a point! And if there is, then we do not have the knowledge to understand it! Yeah! Right!

Yes I agree with ‘pot’ being the operative word.
Did you mean the little boxes made of ticky tacky?
Thems the boxes 🙂
“There’s a green one and a pink one
And a blue one and a yellow one
And they’re all made out of ticky-tacky
And they all look just the same.”
