A Modest Pear from Bent Objects

A Modest Pear from Bent Objects

Have you seen this clever – dare I say, brilliant – site?  It's called Bent Objects and I've never seen anything like it.

I have so much admiration for the kind of creativity it takes to look at a common household object or a piece of produce, and imagine what it could be.  I guess the thing that impresses me so much is that these pieces have SO much personality, and you can almost imagine what they're thinking or saying.

I found out that a book is coming out soon from the creative mind behind this work, Terry Border.  It's called Bent Objects: The Secret Life of Everyday Things and you can preorder it Amazon.  I think this would make an excellent gift for the person who has everything, and as a coffee table book for yourself.  Get one, and be inspired to see things in a fresh new way!

    That’s what struck me too – how someone can take inanimate objects and completely personify them, so that we relate to the art on a human level. Amazing how some people’s minds’ work.

    I read through the site a little bit. The guy is definitely a creative thinker. I love people who can think outside the box. I have a sculpting teacher like that and I love being around her.

    Hey Melissa: That’s what I love about this work. You can even see the little personalities in the carrots, can’t you? Love it!

    Hidey ho, LilSis: Brilliant, isn’t he? I always hope creativity like that will rub off on me!
