Bent Objects [Hardcover]

Helen Gallagher "BlogCritics", October 14, 2009
"Can you create the Statue of Liberty out of a burger and fries? Do you have the imagination to stage a boxing match between two bananas? There is a seriously talented mind at work in "Bent Objects: The Secret Life of Everyday Things". This art book / gift book / humor-photo collection will inspire and amuse the reader. But chances are the author's alma mater will not be amused, since this project is the result of a costly degree in Fine Arts Photography. But fine, fun art it is..."

"Detroit Metro Times"
"Compact and conceptually entertaining."

Everyday objects such as paper clips and Cheez-Doodles are twisted into hilarious recreations of our everyday lives. Eggs, paper clips, popcorn, a bottle of white out, cheese doodles, and a thousand miniature accessories from doll houses combine into wacky and hysterical bad puns, play on words, and downright observational humor from the offbeat mind of Terry Border. Wire-based animation and the hilarious secret life of common household items create small scenes that will be enjoyed by both young and old.

Terry Border has posted his brilliantly wacky creations on his blog, www.bentobjects.blogspot.com for the past ten years and the audience for his work is growing by multitudes, with a current count of over 10,000 unique visitors per month, and links from popular blogs and mentions in mainstream media added almost daily. He lives with his wife and daughter in Indiana.
