i need to show you these very funny little sculpture vignettes from indiana artist terry border. he crafts each piece from food, found objects and wire. i can’t decide if the objects themselves are funnier than the photos, or vice versa.

terry was a commercial photographer before his hobby of making mobiles and other whimsical things out of wire took hold. i’m so glad he’s blended his two expressive art forms.

what a riot!

i think i like “relish life… and death” the most.

check out his blog, see his larger pieces here, and while you’re at it, stop by his etsy shop too!
