Tara Donovan

Ok, so I have just become Tara Donovan's biggest fan! I love her work and am constantly amazed at her manipulation of the material. I honestly don't think there is anything that she can't use to make a beautiful non-objective piece of art. I had a really hard time only picking a few photos to post and so I posted a lot, and I added the web cite where I found these photos. I totally recommend everyone and their dog to look her up, even if you aren't an art lover you will appreciate her creativity. What Tara does is she takes an object from everyday that we would all recognize and then she transforms it into this amazing work of art. You can never tell what the material is that she used until you look very closely and sometimes not even then. A lot of the time you can't figure out how she even put it together. It is amazing!!
