Terry Border

Description

"Terry Border was born October 16, 1965, and has spent the vast majority of his life in the Indianapolis, Indiana area. He graduated from Ball State University with a B.S. in Fine Art Photography in 1988. Then, because he wanted to be practical, he worked as a commercial photographer for many years photographing the most mind-numbingly, boring stuff you can think of. If he would have worked harder, he could have gone on to photograph more exciting things, but he figures he probably had a very bad attitude about it all. In 2006 he started what he calls his Bent Objects project. Basically, the project concerns adding wire to ordinary objects to help pose them as living characters, usually telling a story, and then photographing them. For some reason people liked it. Mr. Border currently has two books containing collections of his Bent Objects published by Running Press, and recently started his series Peanut Butter. Which recently was the star in 10 of his published books" (Border Website).
