Isn’t it amazing, as soon as you start on a piece of work/idea you start seeing things that are related. Its like when you want to purchase a new car and it appears that every other car on the road is the one that you want – I can’t remember the official terminology for this but I bet there is one, rather like there seems to be a phobia about everything. (once did a pub quiz and asked players to match 12 phobias to particular words) ….any how I digress!

I was searching for the now infamous nail painting/sculpture of Leonardo by Saimir Strati

when I happened across some great work by an artist.. David Shrigley

 

whos use of language combined with his artifacts are brilliant, I had a butchers at his site an loved one piece -

Then came across another sculpture who uses bent nails, in the same manner as Terry Border (bent objects)by pjlighthouse

whos slant is that of a comical approach. Also on the trek came across Bill Secunda who makes huge sculptures using a combination of nails and other materials.

Well, enough time spent trawling, time to get back to the nails!!!
