Always easier to criticize. Maybe try your talent and let's see where you end up.

[@heysupermanlook996]

Is it satire? No.. its news output from the BBC.

Dreadful, like most modern art.

[@Elzilcho87]

It's dreadful on purpose, and there's actually alot of "Beautiful" modern art out there. It's just that this installation is supposed to stick out, be mentally uncomfortable to look at, and resemble a dilapidated junkyard.

[@S1ick.Sl0th]

It looks like messed up hobo hut

[@Elzilcho87]

That's kind of the point. It's similar to outsider art and is meant to instil that same feeling, that it's like a derelict building or an abandoned construction site where a homeless person lives.

I bought a book on Celia Scott, and on a major French sculptor. And, seven minutes away, is a lovely, proper, art school. Their sculpture is quite the same as Celia.

[@JohnJSteinbeck]

Talent, creativity, transcends gender.

[@isaam5567]

Looks terrible no offense

[@Elzilcho87]

That's the point, it looks ugly, just as the artist had intended. Which means she did a good job.

[@strangeke7750]

There is something familiar about this art. Even tho it looks post apocalyptic. Wtf is art anyway

[@delphi202002]

Post-Modernism everybody

[@LaWendeltreppe]

Ohaho, why is this art? Who says so? I mean, she seems nice and intriguing, but isn't it just some kind of self-expression and nothing more? Does this really speak to anyone? Maybe it's just there for others to discuss what art does mean. ;)

sorry but this isnt art.
