Bent Objects by Terry Border

Terry Border is an arteest which is an artist who doesn't take anybody or anything seriously, not even themselves and uses humor in their art.


"Basically, I get ideas for photographs when everyday objects remind me of something else. Then I try to think about how I can show others the connection I made. The next step - I try really hard to take it one step further - add humor, emotion of some kind, maybe an 'aha' moment.

"Then again, sometimes an idea just pops into my head. That makes me happy."
