As I said...?


"RUBBISHTM "


This thread is actually about "rubbish"


( rather than the other rubbish I normally post )


http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4046/4601210329_a6455c55cd_m.jpg ( yesterdays rubbish on location, Sydenham )


This is real & found "rubbish" & not that other rubbish found by googling "rubbish" then lifting those images for your own pleasures, which is IMHO " rubbish "


I have a whole library of images on the subject of "rubbish" for you to enjoy, it has all been shot on location ( by me & my eldest son ) in the surrounding area of South East London


I am however, breaking new ground soon in the West End & further afield


You will be suprised at the quality of the "rubbish" out there

Is this Rubbish..?


Well it has been "dumped" in the street


But look how the chair is propped up by the white railing, it in turn drawing the eye into the scene


See how the back of the chair, it's remaining leg & the doors are of the same colour, almost abstracting the image


The seemingly casual juxtaposition between the door & other items in the composition suggest a dwelling abandoned, a life fractured & even a metaphor for the broken society we live in.


Look even closer at the doors, what lies beyond them & their warning signs. We see that all is not well & that one small push could tip this scene into chaos



It's discoveries like this that make me question the immediate living world, what it means to be part of the society & space we inhabit



When I saw & realised this, I was profoundly moved

It also reminded me of this 1888 painting "The Chair" by Vincent Van Gough


http://static.howstuffworks.com/gif/vincent-van-gogh-paintings-from-the-yellow-house-4.jpg



The yellow chair sits in the kitchen corner on battered brown tiles, next to a closed blue door, with a box of onions behind it. Its fat round wooden legs are stoutly braced by uneven bars, the whole thing bashed together quickly and asymmetrically, with a high, hard back and straw seat. Resting on it is a pipe, and tobacco in a bit of crumpled paper.




It's a beautiful world...

my dutch cousin Van Dystar prefers a capitalised V D..

Indeed...


.... he did kpc


Though this may well have been part of what sent him mad



I do believe he originally intended to include a mattress within the composition however, he was advised against it by the artist Tracey Emin


She later took inspiration for the seminal piece "My Bed", finally breaking away from her friend Vincent to become an artist in her own right


You will see here in the image below RubbishTM street arts very important contribution, towards the final realisation of the piece


Though this was in turn part of an ongoing influence in the artists life, as was this hand held "edible" sculpture

In all a very pertinent observation kpc




I am glad you appreciate the piece

    • Why is the name a big of a red flag? Blighty is a common name for the UK whatever people might think.
    • The only election which counts is the General Election.  There is still strong resentment for fourteen year's of Conservative rule. They squeezed the working class's way to hard, then they squeezed the middle class, but somehow the upper class never got touched, funny that.   There is also new resentment for Labour because of the utter balls up they've made of things since coming to power nine months ago. The majority of the population (or at least those with an ounce of common sense) want these clowns out of office ASAP because they see the damage they are doing to UK plc. They squeezed the pensioners, then the farmers and then business. They made and broke promise after promise, or just didn't tell the truth or say what they where going to do, otherwise known as merely lying to get elected. Inflation may be falling but the cost of things in the shops and utility bills keep on rising, the direct opposite of what they promised. They will never be trusted once they are ousted from power in about four and a half years time.   Everything they do and touch causes further harm, led by three stooges, Rayner, Reeves and balls'less Starmer, who couldn't fight his way out of a paper bag. He still thinks he's a solicitor at the DPP. Rather than spending week upon week getting involved in international politics he needs to be sorting out the UK's issues, sadly he's not up to the job and nor are his Cabinet.  Society needs a mix of people with different skills to prosper, not more and more graduates who can't get jobs in what they studied in.   Reform is the current anti establishment party, which will hopefully wither away back to where it came from.  The Liberals and Greens, well what can you say apart from using them as another alternative vote of dissatisfaction, but neither will come to power.  The country seriously needs stability and a Government that stands up for and represents it's people, not what MP's want but what the constituencies want and need.  Government needs to become far more open and transparent, it needs to be seen to be doing its job, doing what MP's are elected to do,  working for the people in the constituencies, getting back to basic principles and rebuilding the trust which has been lost by successive party's immaterial of them being, red, blue, light blue, yellow, green or some other colour.     
    • That’s very insulting! You are basically calling 17 million people that voted to leave the EU ‘thick’.        Brexit happened Sue.  Boring graphs!  Calling Nigel Farage a plastic patriot is also very insulting seeing as he and the Reform Party have had a landslide victory all over England.
    • These charity collectors are often classed as chuggers.  It can be scandalous that the charity/admin may keep a huge percentage of your donations and a tiny percentage is  actually given to the charity.   I can not speak for individual collectors - but it common practice.
