Junkyard Art
There's a mournful sort of beauty about the cast-off possessions of our society. Artists have long been drawn to junkyards, as it captures art with a strong tang of nostalgia -- children's toys, cars, pieces of Americana standing exposed to the elements. With junkyard items comes a gravity, a gentle pathos that, in the right light, bears all the grandeur of Stonehenge. They offer points to contemplate even while they serve as decoration.
