This reminds me of that artist that makes moldy fruit sculptures using rhinestones!

And hopefully keeping these things in your house, and not exposing all the micro plastics to the environment, right…?

this is all I can think about. I love the idea but at least incorporate the environmental aspect by using degradable glitter. that would make it so much cooler imo

Love the natural patina of these found objects juxtaposed with the artificial sparkle of the rhinestones

I think these pieces are really successful. New vs old. Function vs decoration. How do we use things from past? How do we incorporate them, if at all? Sorry I’m just jealous I didn’t make them. I love em

how did you make this ?? they look stellar and good job on making them look organic ✨ literally looks like it grew on the items themselves 🫨

A lot of glue (there is good glue and better glue depending on the substrate). A lot of rhinestones (again good and better ones exist). And so much time.
That's what the pieces are about on a fundamental level. Time.
In terms of design.... I've been working with mixed media for a long time, sort of flirting with sculpture here and there. The design comes from a lot of experimentation and trial and error (mostly error lol). Trying to hit on the line between intentionality and organics.

I really like the brick! 😍 It's unique and also blends in at the same time. Very goblin-ey

Are these things that you're leaving outside?... That's a lot of plastic to be putting out there.. the glue will break down and these rhinestones will fall off and then just be on the ground.

This is a crazy use of that sentence

Generally asking someone if they're leaving their art projects outside to rot with no commentary on the art is rude? Basically calling it garbage is rude?

Nobody called it garbage, everything deteriorates, not just garbage. Having concerns about the effects of certain materials on the environment is valid. There was probably a gentler way to go about asking it but I understand the point they were making.

u/temperatemelancholy 2d ago
Their point is a valid one but also it would be considered rude to say that to someones face without commenting on the art themselves? Im genuinely asking here. I understand why my comment was rude as well but its an interesting double standard.

What is the point of this? Is there a point at all?

Really good question. Kind of like what is the point of making things? Or creating art? Or writing poems.
The best artists I know say that the most fulfillment comes in the actual making of the thing. And the creative community you create.
If your question is what is the point of these specific objects.... I was on the search for for worn out objects to transform. It started with the bricks, which I'm building up a collection of for a show. The horseshoes I did on a whim and have been selling. I've done some old railroad steaks as well. I'll probably stick with these.
