Worryknott and Gumps Diecast Metal Pins
Worryknott and Gumps diecast metal pin badges are briefly back in stock at Burgerplex for £3 each. Whereas Jon refers to the method of attachment as a “spikey bit on the back,” we civilized sorts call it a “tie tack.” The Worryknott pin originally accompanied Jon’s resin Worryknott sculpture. These 1-inch Worryknotts are about an inch tall and come in red. On the subject of worry, wise words from the Burgerman:
Worry really does solve nothing. Just think of all the previous times you’ve over worried about something… did it really turn out that bad? It can’t of done too much else you wouldn’t still be here. Focus on the good, not on the possibly bad.
Rock the pin as a reminder.
WorryKnott
WorryKnott is a collaborative desktop sculpture between Jon and Stuart Witter of the UK-based Lowlife Collective. Each hand-cast white resin sculpture is approximately 135×120x80mm and comes hand numbered and signed along with a metal WorryKnott pin. It is finished in a protective lacquer. Strict edition of 50 for about £50.00 each.
WorryKnott charts the inevitability of getting tangled up in anxiety and its ultimate choking futility. It is the first time one of Jon Burgerman’s intricately doodled compositions has been rendered as a sculpture. These were/art available through Jon’s webshop and Concrete Hermit. I have #40. I get tangled up in anxiety often.
