It truly doesn't, Kate. When I saw it I almost broke my rule and exclaimed 'What the fuck?"
Ms.M. I've always wanted to build a full sized Lego house. Other people beat me to it, however, but I still play with the stuff (I have a huge box of it up in the attic and whenever anyone with a kid pops round I drag it out and play with it and ignore the kid).
Speedway, I was out with friends for dinner last night and Miriam made a wonderful starter involving artichokes (among a host of other goodies). Not so sure about stainless steel one, however.
Hee hee, Petrea. Strangely, if you stand on the spot where I took this photo and spin around a hundred and eighty degrees, you'll be looking right at the big black egg.
Sheebee, you're thinking too hard for a snowy Sunday morning; you should be sitting in a comfy chair sipping hot chocolate (or out walking the hills). Cousin Liz was going to get in touch with you about something; not sure what … websitey or crafty … I gave her your email.
Conceptual art is by definition a bit cerebral, but with this (along with some of my favourite pieces) the meaning (to me at least) was just obvious and didn't need any thought.
I hadn't planned any walking because of the dismal forecast, but I wish I'd made the effort to get out there early this morning, the sun on the frost was wonderful.

Hahahahaha!
The perfect response, Savannah. You'd make a brilliant art critic.

This counts?
Hmmmm.... I hope they aren't thinking of replacing the real trees with these. It reminds me of something a person would build with Legos.
Stainless steel artichoke, without the butter to make it taste good or, in this case, to give it a good taste.
I'm going to go out on an alumin(i)um limb here and say that I like this better than the big black egg.
I agree that it's art. For me it represents exactly the way that we displace beautiful natural things with man-made nonsense.
A heretical thing to say to an architect I know!

It'll be good to hear from Liz.
You had sun? I'm greener than that plastic tree with jealousy.
