#everyday material

When two former art students unite many art gallery trips ensue! 

Saw a really interesting exhibition of Jac Leirner at the Fruitmarket Gallery. The consideration of repetition and use of everyday materials was very poetic.

Tara Donovan

Untitled, 2003, Styrofoam cups, Hot Glue

Tara Donovan is an inventive young sculptor whose installations bring wonder to the most common objects of everyday life. Donovan’s site-specific, sculptural works transform ordinary accumulated materials into intriguing visual and physical installations. Choosing a single object – such as a transparent drinking straw, scotch tape, a Styrofoam cup, or a paper clip – Donovan experiments with assembling it in different ways. Sensitive to the specific needs of her materials and the nature of her exhibit spaces, her installations are often arranged in ways reminiscent of geological or biological forms.
