| | | Rusty Razor | | |

This item is decayed. It is implicitly dangerous and lethal, but sort of in a wash-ed out, castrated way, since it's so decayed. It represents fragility. I like its shape. I've photographed it on a huge wood block I bought for $4 at a store that was selling it. It was used as a display for their products. I don't know why they didn't want it, but their loss is my gain. I thought for four bucks, I couldn't go wrong. I had to carry it a few blocks home though and it's quite heavy, and a little cumbersome. It's about a foot square of solid wood. Dense wood, too; I don't know the family.

Anyway, although there's not contrasting color in the photo, there's the contrast of nature and industry, which I like. These confluences of disparate notions are really interesting to me. I have a theory about people being most entertained by conflict and tension. I'm sure if I looked around I could find some academia to back me up, but why bother, right? I'm comfortable with how things are.

This object was found in the lot of a car dealership in Sarasota, FL. I assume that they used this razor to scratch stickers off windows. Or perhaps the insane car salesman used it to cut their coke to make it finer before snorting it through one-hundred-dollar bills.
