Creating expressive photographs with everyday objects
"Bent Objects" By Terry Border
Terry Border is an artist that uses simple objects to create photographs that are fun and full of life. He explains that, "Basically, the project concerns adding wire to ordinary objects to help pose them as living characters, usually telling a story, and then photographing them. For some reason people liked it."
His work can also be the inspiration for students working at home with limited supplies. Using everyday objects and a bit of wire Terry sets us dioramas or scenes to photograph, and sometimes adds a caption, though in many cases, a caption is just not necessary. Students can use his method to explore and re-purpose items in their house, perhaps even with a contemporary theme of home isolation. What might a scene look like when dealing with the issues we face today... social distancing, washing hands, wearing masks outdoors, learning to cook, and more.
