All of those “screw” jokes have now been formalized.
I recently received a very nice email from a woman named Laura ter Kuile – who lives in England! She found this crazy blog and thought (correctly) that I’d be interested in some fastener-related artwork she has worked on. Here is part of her email to explain:
“I’m currently finishing my University course in Falmouth, UK. I’m studying Contemporary Crafts and have recently completed a body of work inspired by screw threads, nuts and bolts, and general mechanical fun, which I try to relate back to the human body – which really is the perfect machine. The attached piece is called ‘Screwed’, and it is a commission for the local museum here which wanted me to respond to their up coming exhibition on sex education this summer.”
She attached a photo all right. Below is a small version that doesn’t really show how the work would be related to sex education. If you want to “see it all” click on the small photo to get a better look. It’s very interesting, maybe not something you want to use as your desktop background in the office, but interesting art nonetheless. I will be honest. When I first saw the full size version, I thought (and maybe even said), “Ew!” But then it made me wonder about why people are so uptight about, um, certain things that really should be no big deal. I also like how she has the nut sitting on a corner rather than on a flat. I think it adds animation to it.
I’m sure she would appreciate knowing your thoughts if you’ll leave a comment.
