    I dunno what your problem is Matt. It's a series of two sided ½tpi saws.

    And?

    It looks ugly, why would you bother as it would be easier to throw them out.

    No, not Canadian. Has absolutley no freakin' clue what the silhouette of a conifer tree looks like.
    In your dreams, dorkling.

    Actually, I believe it's a collection of Inuit snow saws from Canada's tundra up in Nunavut.
    There are no trees at all on the tundra. Best used in building igloolik.

    Over the years I've come across many so called art objects that are made up from old tools, I'm thinking that the person creating the said object would not have the same respect for the tools as us tool collectors.

    Some of the pieces have been done very well and deserve a degree of praise, some are just junk.

    My only concern is when top end quality tools that can be salvaged are used, compared to the over supply of post 1950's junk.

    Regards

    Graham

    By declining to use paint and allowing the metal to rust the artist is demonstrating that these tools are in the autum of their lives; the orange and red oxides mimicking the hues of leaves in the fall. As time goes by they will eventually corrode to nothing showing that this work of art is living in the now; and like the subject matter, will eventually be gone.

    This is clearly a well thought out and executed piece, giving us a juxtaposition of tools in decline attempting to show the original raw material they were created to work with. I would be very interested in knowing if the artist has produced other works in this series.

    What I truly admire though is the artists full understanding of the purpose of art. Art is intended to provoke an emotional response and looking at these posts we see shades of anger, confusion, humour, steadfast denial and finally; utter pretentiousness subliminally infused with rectally inserted cranial aspects.
    Nothing succeeds like a budgie without a beak.

    Chief, are you in sales? Because you should be, if you're not. Also, may I add my 2c by delighting in the fact that the artiste has used saws - objects meant to destroy trees - to represent trees. Very ironic, very hip.

    Kind of reminds me of the first two saws I bought off Gumtree, they were nothing special but at $5 a piece the right price to practice cleaning and sharpening on. The old feller selling them asked me if I was going to paint them, I must've looked visibly confused. I had no idea people painted (generally very poorly) the blades and hung them up.

    I'm with Graham and the Chief on this and torn between an abomination and a masterpiece .

    I also like Alkahestic's irony angle, although with those offerings I don't think the trees have much to fear.
