Tara Donovan

if I lived in a museum and got to choose an exhibit to be my room, my bed would be as close to Tara Donovan's installations... just cuz they are cool. have you even seen such beauty before? the crazy part is what they're made of: scotch tape, styrofoam cups, plastic straws  and buttons are some of the materials. you can see all the rest here as well as an awesome video of her putting the installment together.

my favorite piece (it's hard to choose) is untitled. It consists of three cubes, each 35"x35"x35" and created with different materials. glass, sewing pins and toothpicks were meticulously placed together by hand so they are held together by friction and gravity only. she got the idea when a box of toothpicks dropped and she saw how some stayed in the shape of the box when they fell out.
