Tara Donovan
Artist Tara Donovan creates sculptural installations out of ordinary, often tiny, objects grouped together in mass. The resulting pieces appear to be something like a topographical landscape, but with an element of movement and amorphism.
Above, an installation of all styrofoam cups. Below, a detail shot of the cups.
This waxy looking looking wall covering is actually all…
…plastic straws!
This drip-castle like creation is…
…buttons!
Are you amazed yet? I just can’t imagine having the vision to start stacking up some buttons on your table or whatnot, and then thinking, I know, if I glue these together by the thousand, I can make a really cool landscape thing.
I like that this ameobic mass below is fairly unremarkable, until you realize what it’s made of…
tape!!! (Yes I’m amazed every time.)
A very short skyline made of…
Don’t these little sea urchin creatures look like they’re moving?
They’re fishing line. I don’t want to think about how long those took to put together.
