I recently came across the work of Belgian artist
Wim Delvoye: to say I'm in awe and equally tickled by his playfulness is a bit of an understatement. I'm particularly enamoured by his '
Gothic Works', great metal structures imitating everyday machines (dumper trucks, cement mixers, flat bed trailers), imitating gothic structures reminiscent of cathedrals and churches: I'm not entirely sure which came first, the cathedrals or the machines that might contribute towards making them these days, but they certainly are impressive constructs: I'd love one in the yarden, maybe to worship in. (I accidentally spelled 'workship' and had to amend, do you see what I did there? I probably would try and set up a workshop in one of these actually, if it was remotely feasible and I could convince Mr. Delvoye to install one of his masterpieces in my aforesaid, 'yarden'. Anyway, I digress)
Mr Delvoye's 'Towers' are as equally awe inspiring, I particularly like this one: if only Kirklees council would invest in one of these beauties outside the train station, all would be right with the world! Ahhhh!
