The Anarchists
<--Previous Up Next-->
Symbolism leaves a
need to sometimes express in words what the intent is in using certain
symbols. Here are the two colours black and red the symbols of Anarchy
and Socialism.
Anarchy (from Greek: ἀναρχίᾱ anarchíā, "without ruler") may refer
to either of the following:
"No rulership or enforced authority."
“The root of anarchism is the single impulse to do it yourself:
everything else follows from this.”
In this piece the accepted conventions in wood turning have been
deliberately broken in several ways.
Painted surface hides the wood
Texture in opposition to the visible natural grain patterns promotes a
confused surface instead of the more normal smooth and orderly wood
grains.
Round bottoms suggest instability and uncertainty
Natural interiors remind us of the rules?
Using two pieces, not exact duplicates, but of a similar shape, and yet
somehow they support each other reaching stability as in the doctrine
of the Anarcho-syndicalism movement
Anarcho-syndicalism is a branch of anarchism which focuses on the
labour movement. Syndicalisme is a French word, ultimately derived from
the Greek, meaning "trade unionism" . Anarcho-syndicalists seek to
abolish the wage system, regarding it as "wage slavery." Most turners
work for “slave” wages Guilds were the forerunners of the modern trade
union movement.
These Anarchists arise from and are supported by a tarnished network of
“BRASS” that allows their existence and permits them to function
