Erica Van Horn (Tipperary, Ireland): Rusted, 2008   LARGER

A one-page newspaper project for the Herald-Tribune, published Friday, January 23, 2009

“Over the last ten years, I have found these metal implements: sprockets, chisels, cotter pins, mostly things for which I don’t have names. They appear regularly in the soil of this former farm in Tipperary. Each metal piece was a part of something, a solution to a specific problem. That is all I know. I draw them in this simple silhouette form so that I will not forget them. Often my work is about giving attention to the small incidental things in my life—the things that are easily overlooked.”
