Hoary Glove

I went to the market early this morning and saw this 'lost' glove on a wall, covered in a hoary frost. I like to take photographs of 'lost' items, a mitten, shoe, sock, scarf, hat or a toy. Usually a kind person has put it on a wall, railing or seat, in a prominent place waiting to be reclaimed and reunited with its owner. I then saw the artist Tracey Emin had the same thought. She had taken it a step further by having the 'lost' items cast in bronze and cold painted then placed around Folkstone. 'Baby Things - a bonnet, booties and matinee jacket cast in bronze and then 'left' on park railings and beneath wooden benches - is a beautiful piece of work. These miniature sculptures are difficult to find and, until you touch them and feel hard, cold metal, look heartbreakingly real.'
