scrapbook12


This fork was found outside of the campus center sitting by itself on a table. It was weird to see this fork outside because usually when we come in contact with forks it is in some type of dining hall setting or kitchen. The peculiarity of seeing a fork sitting outside by itself is what really grabbed my attention. Its shiny metallic gleam glints with sunlight so you can't help but look at it. This item is such a huge part of our society. We use it everyday and do not think twice about it. The only reason I did a double take was the fact the fork was not where we usually see them. I feel the fork is not art because it was produced out of necessity and there are millions of other ones out there that are exactly the same. It is unlike paintings where no two paintings are the same. It has no uniqueness to it besides its location.
