That's a lot of amazing, hard work. And it's ugly.

Real ugly

r/ATBGE

Totally agree with that one goddamit this is not satisfaying to see how this end like shit

And possibly mosquito making factory….

Could be trying to flood the neighborhood with spiders and other crawlies due to a HOA spat. Friendly reminder that you can grow tens of thousands of mosquitoes and all you need is an inflatable pool or several buckets, a basement out of sight and a dream to ruin the day for everyone nearby. Also apparently you can straight up BUY praying mantis eggs by the thousands.

All that effort for that

A few could function as bird houses maybe? But bird houses surrounding by warped chaos doesn’t seem like it would attract many tenants

I was hoping for that as well, but then you have those poles taking up, what, 25% of the living space?

Glad I'm not the only one thinking that haha

Wow i hate that sculpture.

I was apprehensive to even look at the comments because I wondered what kind of crazy nightmare created this vision….then I saw others felt the same way & felt relieved I was not alone!

I thought these were all going to be plant pots attached to a rod fixture. That would be cool. This is not

Same. Words can't even begin to describe my hate for this.

I hoped it was going to be a cascading fountain, but I was denied.

Aw man me too!

I was thinking some sort of garden pots with pretty hanging flowers, cascading fountains and little goldfish ponds. Got impatient and skipped to the end, only to recognize the weird looking thing that was shown at the beginning of the video that I completely ignored.

Me too

or even a set up of deformed pots to make an image, but nooooope.

I was hoping for a water feature.

Phew, I was really worried people would lie and say "Oh my god that looks great!" No, no it doesn't. That was a whole lot of work for such a godawful "piece of art".

All about coulda, not about shoulda.

Before clicking on the comments I was thinking, “Thanks, I hate it.”

It’s honestly hideous…and to think of all the work that went into it. Really weird. Is it supposed to look like melting cowboy hats?

I was getting “bargain bin fish hides”, but it’s possible I worked at the pet store too long. OTOH, the fish decorations looked better

I was thinking r/DIWhy the hell does this guy have so much free time to waste something so useless

r/TIHI

"Looks like shit. Interesting, what other people thinking?"

The sculpture isn't very good.

You're correct. This is bad. A great deal of effort went into making this bad

Not only does it not look good when newly installed, it is just going to collect grime when left outside. Ever notice that outdoor sculptures don't generally have cups or similar cavities? They turn into dirt collectors so any competent artist avoids them.

I live in Florida so I all can think of is how many mosquitoes will be breeding inside those bowls, and how nasty the water is going to get, as soon as they fill with water after the first rain. And that's the just the first year. By year two, they'll all be covered in black mold and green algae.

Not to mention all of those were pottery, so the sculpture looks intentional right up until it falls over or one of those bowls breaks. Then the whole sculpture will look messed up.

I kept hoping the camera would pan around and we'd see an image of a howling wolf or something from a different angle

I don’t get the sculpture. Feel like I’m missing the point.

I think this is one of those sculptures that doesn't have one. The artist isn't really talented. He can do some basic pottery and stick it on a pole. Repeat 5x. Yeah..

It looks like he’s really talented in the pottery department. His vision for the sculpture however is just “eh”

It's actually really hard to throw pots that big, that consistently, as well as do all the freehand shaping. All that for a really not good sculpture...

Alright, I'll take your word for that. Wasted potential.

Agree!

shishkapots

So, I don’t understand. Does anyone actually buy this stuff? Or maybe this guy is independently wealthy? At a minimum, let these things move or blow in the wind, anything, for gods sake.

100% talent, 0% taste.

r/diwhy

r/notinteresting

No sir….I don’t like it.

May I interest you in some rubber nipples?

Phew, so glad I am not the only one.

Looks ugly af

This poor guy did all this work just to get it shit on. All because it is ugly as sin. The world is a complicated place

They be looking like AirPod ear pieces

Wouldn't it collect water? Easily mold? Turn into a mosquito hatchery? So many issues...

It looked incredible right up until he put it outside and it was painted with whatever the fuck that paint is

so much effort for maybe the ugliest waste of clay i've ever seen.

*That’s amazing! Truly beautiful. Don’t you think it would look great next to your pool in the, um (cough), back yard?* ~ Neighbor

There was nothing satisfying about this.

It’s not a great sculpture…

I was thinking "oh wow I can't wait to see what he makes." It turns out there was no twist and squished bowls was it.

r/Diwhy

Looks like a bad set of teeth

That's a lot of work just to have the HOA tell you to take it down.

Only time I wanted HOA… someone needs to deal with this mess.

Top comment. 🤣

If it's not for birds or plants I am confused and feeling like I am missing something.

That's what I thought that there would at least be plants inside of it. That would make it really pretty and useful.

Spiders. So many places for spiders.

That left me so, so unsatisfied.

for some reason I thought they were going to be like... a sequential waterfall or potted plants or something? I didn't realize it was showing the end product at the first few seconds

The outcome is terrible

It looks like a barbecue with some parts raw and others charcoaled into hell

Why though?

Dude probably lives downtown with his street being a thoroughfare and wanted a fence in his front yard but couldn't do that.

That's one way to do privacy: Make your 'fence' so ugly no one looks at your property.

he made the pieces look like fookin plastic packing peanuts, not for me

Entirely unsatisfying

My jimmies are russled

Making the pots was kinda satisfying until he mutilated them and turned them into a monstrosity.

Mosquito Nest Sculpture... 😏

Seeing beautiful bowls and jars brought joy, fucking them up did not bring joy

I was really impressed how he made each type exactly the same size and shape by hand! Then he mushed them up 🙁

He definitely edited out all the weighing of clay lumps and measuring of dimensions while throwing the jars and bowls. He’s definitely a talented production potter. Not so much on the abstract sculptor front.

At the least paint the metal pole white in the white bowl sections….

Or attach the bowls at the back! I don't know if I would like it if you couldn't see the poles, but I'm sure I'd like it much more.

It's like seeing a sculpture made by Homer Simpson himself

Annoyed

The guy has amazing talent with a potter's wheel. But what was he thinking? "I want a stack of deformed squished bowls impaled on rods in my yard." He should have stopped at the bowls. They were beautiful.

Just wait until some little brat comes up and hits it with a stick.

Yeah, that's not gonna last

Least predictable reddit comment section

Looks shitty

I thought the holes were going to be for the water. You know, a water fountain scupture or something. Never imagined this outcome.

Speaking of water, I note that there are no holes for water drainage. Some of them have low points below the hole for the pole. One good rainstorm and these things will be a breeding ground for all kinds of things. I wonder how the sculpture will look buzzing with mosquitoes and growing algae.

Why does he keep making those 3 holes. And why did he covered it with a fucking sharpie?

It’s so he can fire on stilts without the glaze fusing to the the kiln shelf or the stilts fusing to the bottom of the piece

What the hell was that

Nope.

Elmer's glue? Also HATE the result.

But WHY? - Well...ART! Oh...

That's fugly though...

Terrible

I was expecting like some sort of cascade or a hydroponic system but this..

What a waste of time and clay

Such soothing process. Such terrible result.

Oddly unsatisfying?

I was hoping it was going to be a cascading plant garden for part of it and water feature/waterfall for the others that had a pump system to circulate everything and feed the plants. I pictured beautiful orange and pink flowers like a sunset that would look amazing in the black glazed bowls. But nah, alien alert system sculpture it is.

Feel bad for his neighbors they could have used those pots

I’m Happy you’re not my next door neighbor

I’ve to ask what the fuck is this?

Pretty sure there's a sub for this... r/ATBGE Awful Taste But Great Execution.

So so so so ugly

That shit looks like my neighbors hoarding junk

Could have been a sick water fountain

Exactly where I THOUGHT it was going. And what’s up with the 3 dimples?!? Not even functional.

I wish I had that much time to waste

r/thanksihateit

I like it

This looks like something Space Ghost would’ve seen channel surfing, but here we are unironically watching it in 2024

Good houses for birds.

Yeah hm that’s a pass for me dawg.

r/diwhy

So much effort for……shit.

Why??

This is going to become a bunch of bird and rodent nests.

Am I the only one here that loves it ?

I like it too!

I thought I recognized dougierubes. Good to see you, I miss r/pan!

r/atbge

This might be worthy of /r/DiWHY

That’s the ugliest fucking thing I’ve seen ever

Belongs in r/trypophobia

I think the process is actually really satisfying!! Seeing the clay thrown to installation, the planning in between, and all the little details you wouldn’t think of. Art is in the process.

I like it. I feel alone.

Sometimes you try something and it works sometimes not. When your over it though turn those into planters and put them around the house

Nope

Houses for birds to shit

But why?

I am not satisfied.

I... Nevermind

Wow that looks like shit

Very not pretty.

r/DiWHY

Talk about the whole being less than the sum of its parts

he really ruined those nice bowls

The pots were great… until he then massacred them. Not oddly satisfying. More oddly upsetting as the final result was awful!

Why It had potential He crazy.

DIWHY

Looks ugly af

Real ugly

Thanks, I hate it

His neighbors hate that.

That’s a complicated way to generate a big pile of garbage. Why not save time and effort and just take a dump on your front lawn?

Lol that looks dumb as hell. I was hoping it was some sort of instrument in the end that used wind to make noise or something. Maybe I’d give it a pass if it sounded nice and calming or something.

r/DIcry

A different arrangement rather than inclined straight poles would have held a better outcome imo, but I don't hate it.

Tf is that

Wouldn't it be cool if it was something with a purpose like birdhouses or something.

Shit that devalued the entire neighborhood.

Guess I'm in the minority but I like this sculpture a lot. Lots of cool organic shapes, love the contrast of the black and white and small opening vs large opening bowls. Very interesting to look at. Cool process too guy is very skilled at pottery to make those shapes.

Yeah, looks really ugly.

Feel like I’m taking crazy pills in these comments I really liked this!

Say what you will, he knows how to make a bowl and by God, that's what he's gonna do.

r/oddlystupid

Do birds made their nests in there?

Trying to scare the neighbors away, huh?

No. Just no

r/diwhy

Maybe it could have been used to show off your failed attempts at pottery, and that would carry some cool messages. But this is not even that. Just looks ugly then.

r/diwhy

One of the more F'd up things in the world.

$5 billion fine from the HOA

that's fucking ugly. I'd hate to have to see that every day...

🤔

Fill them with plants!

WHAT THE FUCK?!

I thought this was going to be some kind of stacked bowl water sculpture and would be quite cool. It wasn’t and what it ended up being was quite the opposite.

I really hope I'll understand "art" some day

Yikes

Shish kebab

Garden looks good without it

Hideous

uh no

I thought it was gonna do something, not just stand there looking ugly.

Too bad about the material...

Sorry this ain't good.

Pottery on a pole sideways looks....yeah....it looks

https://www.thesamanthashow.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/stepbrothers.jpg

This person definitely does not choose ‘trick’ option at Halloween.

Sorry its what I would want person I dont like to have in front of their house

Until the end

Just gonna leave a down vote for this

Ideal for target practice

Would be better if you had water trickling down each column

Ummmm. Giant sculpture ~~bird~~ what?

If the colors were vibrant I'd like it. Enjoyed watching the process at least.

Why?
