    And another. These guys wanted a quote on surge arrestors....for the purpose of insurance.

    For the purpose of insurance!!!! I don't think a surge arrestor will solve the problem.

      Yeah, classy.... some lovely touches. It's always refreshing to see there's still craftsmen out there that are free thinkers, don't feel the need to blindly follow the crowd and aren't influenced and restricted in their expression by shallow and fickle things such as best practice and regulations.

      I think with an installation such as that you've got to look past the cunningly brazen presentation of the outer layer of confusion and disarray to truely understand the deeper inner message being conveyed. I think the use of the neutral bar to extend that piece of twisted cabtyre hints heavily at the artists grasp that nothing in this world remains the same; things are constantly in flux. What I take away from the lack of SWA gland and rediculously dangerous current ratings of the devices is a strong nod and homage to Buckminster Fullers philosophy of ephemeralization and the mixture and positioning of circuit breakers as a clever expression of societies racial tensions with them seemingly side by side and working as a unit whilst there's a subtle but sinistre underlying black and white incompatibility.

      The acute angle of the circuit breakers in the upper left quadrant of the piece was for me unnecessary and shows some petulance in its lack of restraint but overall there's a certain maturity about this work and the way he got his message across. I'm going to give him an overall score of 7 out of 10 which may seem overly generous to some but I think he's on an interesting path and I look forward to seeing how this artist evolves over his next few creations. Definately a craftsman worth keeping an eye on for me.
