Sharen may or may not have been in the health care world - but, I love the colors in that stamp. Below is the one that sat on my desk for a week - it needed something else - and then I spotted the detail on the stamp. I had done this one - thinking it would look nice with the Goodnight Moon stamps - but the blue was waaaaay off.
I added a note on the back to Sharen that it would have been fun to make the H out of bandaids. Bandaids are harder to draw than one would imagine.
And now back to Tara Donovan who builds things out of many, many other things.
One of my favorite pieces was a wall of plastic straws. And one of my least favorite things about her work is the use of environmentally unfriendly things. Lots of plastic and styrofoam. So, I ended up with mixed feelings about her work. There are enough other artists who make fabulous things out of natural materials and found objects.
Here is a wall of straws. I liked the *sound* it made when you were close to it. It was quiet - but if you spoke - you could tell that the sound was different from what the sound would have been in the room without the wall of straws. This reminded me of those devices with many blunt pins that will reflect the shape of your hand. I can't think of what they are called. I always thought it would be fun to replicate this - but every place in my house that has two perpendicular walls has a window - and I couldn't see covering up a window.
This is a stack of CDs
I found an image of these things - they seem to be called a pin art board.
