This piece of screwed up galvanised iron was part of the vanload of
rubbish I collected from a scrapyard in Murray Bridge and mentioned in
my Work in Progress pages on 13 March. It is the same piece that I drove
the van backwards and forwards over on 27 May.
There are several big panels made up of the heavily rusted mesh
propped up against trees and sheds on our property. This is the sheet
that Ken cut out with bolt cutters, I flattened with the van, tidied up
with my new angle grinder and then painted with salt water to make the
cuts rust over quickly.
I left the galvo bare when I first attached it to the mesh, but
the shapes were flattened out in the greyness, so I painted it red
instead.
The graffiti came from a shed alongside the Chain of Ponds road to
Adelaide. It is as rough, crude and unselfconscious as the randomly
twisted and crushed galvo.
