Metal Art
Art has many forms. Some how, I am drawn to the broken, rusted, burnt, vine covered, or forgotten type. This train in Jeffersonville Indiana is one of those random little objects that has been forgotten. Nature has beat it up, humans have added to the distraction, and well me as a photographer, I capture it. I wanted a day that the clouds had a little more texture than usual but not too gloomy, it adds to the effect when getting a HDR photograph. It is in the category of metal art to me though it may not be what is defined as metal art…. (read more below)
Across the street of Dutch Lane is a metal statue made hubcaps ( from what I have read ). She is the other definition of metal art. I wasn’t able to find a lot of information on her which somehow makes her more special and hidden; a treasure. Im unsure of the artist but there are names (C.R. elwanger & DGuethe – I think ) on a board to the left with this written.
“I am your mother yet I am a woman standing into the winds of change.
Expected to be strong yet gentle, expected to be better then good.
Yet not reflect that I know I am good.
The winds force me to change, yet I do not want to be anymore than what I am.
A woman.
Your mother.
Take my hand, we will stand together into the ‘winds of change’
-The Lady
