I made a piece called “Sad Hammer”. It was a cheap hammer that got overused and bent down and I thought it looks depressed, so I put it in a shadow box and hung it on my wall after visiting MOMA. I guess it’s really not that cool but I like it.
Love this. I used to own a very similar hammer and one day snapped one side of the claw off trying to remove a nail for a picture hanger… Very sad indeed
It looks like a hollow tube for the body. I had one very similar to that in my cheap socket/toolkit. I got to a job and didn’t have a real hammer so I grabbed this one that I kept in the truck. The first nail I tried to pull out I ripped the head clean off.
Nah. I glued it to the back of the the shadowbox with liquid nails I believe while it was laying flat on the ground. It’s been holding strong for 15 years so far!
Yeah I guess it’s funny now that you mention it. The background color matches the back wall more than I realized. The color of the back wall was tan originally.

this is art!
We’re talking about it, aren’t we?
Shut up you! That’s cool!
I like how it’s floating. It’s attached to the wall separately from the frame?

Oh neat!

Yeah it’s a bit of an optical illusion lol. Probably more obvious to see the difference in real life.
Fantastic
