The Curious Gaze returns with Tara Donovan

Untitled, 2003. Styrofoam cups, hot glue.


The Curious Gaze is back! And with a fascinating sculptor's work no less!

Tara Donovan is a Brooklyn-based artist who creates naturalistic yet otherworldly sculptures out of commonplace materials such as styrofoam cups, fishing line, and drinking straws. Here are a few images from www.acegallery.net although it is worth visiting the website because there are too many amazing images to post here. Never has Elmer's Glue and tempered glass seemed so lovely.

Untitled, 2001. Steel pins held together with friction and gravity.

Haze. Plastic drinking straws.

Nebulous, 2002. Scotch tape.
