16/365 - Tappety tap tap...


Slow day inspiration wise :) But there is a certain challenge in finding creativity somewhere / anywhere!! This is a tappet from a Ford Sierra, kind of like part of the heart valves that keep a car alive. I'm surprised by the sculptural beauty in the components of a car engine, obviously they were't designed to be attractive, but just efficient in their processes, but there's something about the quality, weight and high polish of the metal that's really tactile and looks so good when lit in different ways. It's also a fascinating thought to think that this little tappet has been 150,000 miles when it was part of the engine in the car. I wonder if it could speak, would it have stories to tell???? :)
