<p>[QUOTE="springfld.arsenal, post: 354636, member: 54"][ATTACH=full]120628[/ATTACH] Here for no particular reason are three of the four abstract flat trench art etchings I did in 2003. I was just starting to take this up as a hobby after retiring from my govt 9-5. I actually entered them in an art-judging session held at the Alexandria, VA Torpedo Factory, now a busy artist workshop with a great many tenants, many of whom are professional artists. They told me what I’d done was craft and not art, so I appreciated the opinion and set the craft aside to focus on my online sales of militaria. How are they trench art? I cut sections of brass out of 57mm WWII antitank cartridge cases and flattened them in a press. Then I laid out designs and acid-etched them. Then I gave them names. You can make any comments u want, I’m not the least bit sensitive about these samples from my failed abstract art career. But I’ll be back after I reinvent myself with different media I’ve been acquiring as art supplies. Lighting is bad on the first two, unfortunately.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>#177: “Evolution”</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]120626[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]120629[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>(Unnumbered). “Hiroshisaki”</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]120627[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>#176 “Societies”</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]120628[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
