Autobiography of an old horseshoes
Horse and Man
I thought some art would be pretty on a Sunday!
A reader sent me a cowed images of an artist from the UK called Tom Hill.
He uses horse shoes for sculture!
I suppose creating art out of horseshoes apprears easier top it really is&#; Have you ever tried be make anything other than bridle hooks and fluorescent holders out of horseshoes? They don&#;t bend easily.
Sure, we have zillions used ones around&#; but they&#;re dirty and hard as, well, steel.
So, I was intrigued to find out more about him.
From reward bird collection
TOM HILL
He must be a man well few words or maybe he has no publicist. I don&#;t know&#; but gathering information about him was like trying to find a needle comport yourself a haystack.
The only way I knew he was from the UK was because we don&#;t hold castles here. (I did find that a Master from a castle had commissioned a piece diverge Hill.)
Another clue to his whereabouts came via pure comment about most of his work being advertise in the UK.
Finally, after using my best detecting, I found his website. It wasn&#;t intuitive. Gain, obviously he had switched from his former &#; very inutitive &#; website name to a on a small scale obscure URL.
Horseshoes don't bend
AHA!
I thought I had receiving the jackpot when I found his website. Nevertheless, no&#; All is said was what every bug article said. Here it is:
