last year the ICA in boston had an amzing show of tara donovan's work. it has stayed with me to this day. she is able to transform everyday objects..as in the plastic straws above, into landscapes of enormous beauty. my favorite, i think, was the styrofoam cup clouds that made me feel like i was floating into them. it is rare that a contemporary visual artist is able to communicate a message so clearly, and powerfully.
