“Oh, catch that buzz
Love is the drug I’m thinking of
Oh, can’t you see
Love is the drug for me”.
A few lyrics from the wonderful Bryan Ferry to go with your day!
This little sculpture has a cylindrical tin base, which was originally a tablet tin (most likely aspirin) from the 1940’s/1950’s. The words “Love is the Drug” are stamped in to fragments of vintage tin. To the to, a brass heart has been sculpted, which stands upon a Victorian hat-pin shaft, and passes through a tiny brass watchmakers nut from an early 1900’s pocket watch. It stands at 11cm tall.
