Broken Chair

I rescued the chair from outside someone’s apartment with the hope of fixing it and having it become a welcome member of our family.

But, as often happens, it sat around in various places waiting for me to find the time to repair it.

Finally, I decided it was one more project I did not have time for, and so yesterday I put it out on the sidewalk in the hopes that someone would take it home.

It sat out there all through yesterday in the rain and the sun, lonely, awaiting a new friend. A few people paused to look but then drove away. Periodically I would look out my window to see it still sitting forlornly there.

Then this morning I noticed an older gentleman walking past who began to inspect the chair. He picked it up, put it on his back and walked away.

It is a beautiful chair. It just needs to be repaired, and I am sure its new owner will do just that.

I don’t know about you, but I feel a lot like that broken chair, waiting for the gentle hands of someone to put me back together again.

I wait, broken, with the hope that those hands will touch me, I will be healed, and I can have a purpose again.

FINDING JUST THE RIGHT REMIXES

Found Objects is a Cream magazine remixing project that blends the worlds of dance music and art. Cream founding editor and audio artist Antonino Tati trawls the web to find the coolest of backing tracks, campest of documentaries, fun film quotes, and maddest retro ads – layering words of wit (and occasional dimwittedness) over killer remixes.

The aural Easter eggs abound on these recordings. Volume One (pictured top of article) includes remixes of songs by Kylie Minogue, Madonna, Darren Hayes, Suede, Eurythmics, Thomas Dolby, George Michael, and Pet Shop Boys, while Volume Two (above) includes brilliant reworkings of gems by Kate Bush, Soulwax, Tori Amos, Les Rythmes Digitales, The Motels, Fleetwood Mac, Malcolm McLaren, R.E.M. and David Bowie.

Keep your eyes and ears open throughout the site to download free MP3s of remixed tracks over coming weeks. Heck, why not collect them all? They’re free!

A car left quietly in a field near Hartsel, Colorado. I shot low so the grass and plants could press into the frame, letting time and landscape do the storytelling.
