hose art

‘dinah won’t you blow’. in kindergarten there was a girl in my class named veronica. every day before leaving for our buses she would ask ms. penny if she could sing ‘i’ve been working on the railroad’. and then she’d sing it. this reminded me of that

I have a kinky hose.

Ok, before you go all ‘that’s what she said’ on me, hear me out. A year ago I bought this shitty hose from Ace Hardware. I swear, it came with built-in kinks. The thing won’t recoil, hardens in the sun and takes forever to spray. And as you can see, my terrace is in shambles. We’ve had some pretty strong winds and a thunderstorm, and I just haven’t had the time to clean outside. Plus I hate my hose. And the cats don’t help. BUT. All these factors have converged to create artistic nature pieces in my terrace. So I thought I’d share some of these works with you.

i took two of these and preferred the one with the drain off center. i love the movement in this shot. i don’ think my hose was destined to be a hose at all
