Tara Donovan






Untitled, 2008, polyester film, 4 x 24 ft., 2,500 lb.

Donovan's large installations garner ready made objects such as rubber bands, toothpicks, buttons, plastic cups.  The combinations grow into forms that have a life of their own.  She spends hours working with materials until she find something "that works."    
In Untitled the film folds over and over onto itself attracting light and color changes.  Donovan bought the roll at a surplus store for $10.  She noticed how it in looked as she was pulling it off the roll and decided to play with it.  Viewers walk around the installation, see a variety of colors in the organic shapes and see other people through the tubes.
