Preening 3

This is a good example of Object D’art. Also known as Found Object or Assemblage Art. I saw this rusting lifebelt stand/holder on Hall Quay by the bridge in Yarmouth. Obviously it was being used by workmen who were scrapping the aluminium electrical tubing and wire and storing it out of the way temporarily. I thought it looked stunning and fascinating. How to use it in a collage and create a narrative?  I eventually came across a photo I had taken in an Air B&B in Liverpool a few years ago. I took away the glass, extended the floor and wall from the original photograph, and put the bottom corner of the pipe behind the A frame support. I eventually applied a filter to soften the picture – hence the number 3 in the title.
