Very interesting object!
It’s one of a number of artworks on a farm we visited last year. The owners bought it in NZ, and, it seems, corrugated iron art abounds in NZ – saw this on Jo Bryant’s blog yesterday http://jobryantnz.wordpress.com/2014/01/28/cbbh-photo-challenge-street-art/

too funny (objectification of bovines 😉 ) – but I must say that bovine is a bit ugly hahaha – wish I could make stuff like that!
hehehe (I didn’t crop its head out, though….) It’s so ugly but so fantastic – I also wish I could do such things with my hands
ps. love your colourful new look 😀
Thanks, Gabe – lavender for bees 🙂
First, you humble me for the nod in my direction, BB. Many thanks for your recommendation of my photograph this week.
Second, I like this! Those red bits of weathered metal really give this “object” the wounded look (to my mind’s eye anyway), and I am intrigued by the perspective … really elevates the object further. I feel empathy for this cow! 🙂 But at the same time, it could be said that it’s much more idyllic and pastoral than I’m giving it credit. I’m probably too much in dark or steampunk mode tonight, BB, so excuse any misinterpretations! In the end, I’ll quote Whitman, who says it far better than I: “I think I could turn and live with animals, they are so placid and self-contained;/I stand and look at them long and long.”
Thanks, Leigh. I am a bit of a bovinaphobe, so I don’t feel in the least bit sorry for this cow – in fact, it’s how I like my cows – as art, lol 😀 “Steampunk mode” – fabulous! I have been forced into reading Steampunk novels for university (I’m a matured-aged student), and have to say, never even a sci-fi lover, I’m hooked 8-O. Young Adolescent Fiction in the genre in particular. Isn’t Whitman wonderful?
Isn’t the human mind a remarkable thing!
Yes – but what about the mind of a bovine? 😉
And they have 4 stomachs!
The human mind boggles!

Love it!
So much artistic talent out there – thanks, thetedster
very cool…I love the corrugated art stuff…but you knew that didn’t you
It’s seems to be an NZ specialty, Jo.
I would like to nominate you for the Inner Peace Award and The Lighthouse award. I hope you can find the time to participate. I sure enjoy your blog!
Thank you, Cee 😀
Love it, BB. That cow’s not going anywhere. Interesting project for a farm!
The owners collect all sorts of installation art, Kate, which is dotted around the farm – such fun to go art-spotting in the meadows 😀
