Objects I bought at Teguise market |
a collection of found objects and sculpture in a garden in Teguise |
surfers grave or memorial |
The 1st are objects I bought at a market. There is a small painted wooden Jesus dating from 16 or 1700's , an ammonite fossil and stone age arrow heads. The are all objects of some signifgence to me and have been arranged in a self conciously artistic way.
The 2nd are peices, some art in them selves, some by their arrangment . They have been put in a garden one passes on the way to the market and very much say "look at me"
the third is a memorial or grave of a surfer . Fins from surf boards have been left reverentally around it. Though not in itself ment as art ; it packs a much more powerfull emotional punch than the two preceeding self conciously artistic collectiions
The fact that the 3 collections were seen or gathered on one journey is important, it has aspects of Psychogeography ( i think ! ), a Derive
i would like to persue this a bit and today started visiting and photographing graveyards in ireland
