The new shiny

I found this at ankle level on the street last week. It is a pre-rusted garden ornament.

What is it with the current preoccupation with rust? Our public spaces are graced with sheet steel sculptures coated in a layer of rust, and now it seems we are to decorate our gardens with rusty things.

To me it just seems tacky and cheap. If you couldn't afford to make it from stainless steel, then you could always paint it. Duh!

I suppose the argument is that you will never need to paint it, it's already rusty, how much worse can it get?
