Sometimes these things<\/p>\n<p>are obvious, unavoidable, blocking our path, even, or simply looming large<\/p>\n<p>at the edges of our view. Others are smaller and more subtle, almost<\/p>\n<p>in-perceptible as we quickly traverse our busy world. We&#8217;re often struck by<\/p>\n<p>an object&#8217;s beauty; other times we see only trash. But all objects &#8212; whatever<\/p>\n<p>their original purpose and whatever their current state may be &#8212; have<\/p>\n<p>an aesthetic value. Most of us prefer things straight and symmetrical, perfectly<\/p>\n<p>rounded, even, properly finished, free from obvious flaws. But sometimes<\/p>\n<p>an object&#8217;s perfection becomes hidden, whether by rust, weather,<\/p>\n<p>overuse or disrepair. An object&#8217;s original purpose often seems lost to us:<\/p>\n<p>what was once obvious and familiar is now completely unrecognizable. And<\/p>\n<p>the juxtaposition of one object to another (no matter how random their<\/p>\n<p>placement to one another may seem) can create totally new meanings<\/p>\n<p>when viewed as a whole. These inconspicuous forms are everywhere, waiting<\/p>\n<p>to be noticed.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"ngg-singlepic ngg-center\" src=\"\/h\/wp-content\/gallery\/shoba\/invitation-for-the-show.jpg\" alt=\"invitation-for-the-show\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> We\u2019re often struck by<\/p>\n<p>an object\u2019s beauty; other times we see only trash.
