A very small section of an installation piece at the MFA by Tara Donovan. Cloud like clusters of styrofoam cups measuring 20 feet wide and 6 feet deep suspended from the ceiling in the Contemporary Art Linde Family Wing.
Feeling better everyday, but I've not left the house since Saturday. I'll leave it on Thursday to go to the airport. I'm not missing Universal Horror Nights.
Mostly tree leaves and branches. Logs and Styrofoam.

Utata ~ Weekend Project ~ "The Quotidian"
"I don't know about you but I'm heartily sick of living in the 'Interesting Times' that Chinese philosophers were supposedly always cursing their peers with. I'm sick of it and have taken to a spot of outright theft to set things straight and remind us all that our lives are mostly filled with the workaday, even if our times are more interesting than I can bear. "Have you no shame, you cutpurse, you footpad, you damnable scofflaw?" I hear you cry, accusingly. "Not the tiniest hint." I reply, defiantly if morally deficiently.
For this latest Weekend Project I'm taking the liberty of repurposing (stealing) an original idea exactlly14 years old this weekend. Back on December 8th 2005 Greg posted this plea to join him in celebrating the ordinary, everyday objects and sights that catch our eyes.
So come one and all, Celebrate the Quotidian. Glory in the Ordinary. Ignore the Special, the Unique and Exciting and focus on the familiar and frequent. Take and post in this thread (small sized up to 5 new photos and 1 archive pic and tag with utata:project=quotidian."

There's nothing more exciting than a pile of Styrofoam plates and bowls.

I was driving west on Irving Park Road (by Schiller Woods) when I noticed this pink trail on the side. And yes, I did leave with the roll, along with various Taco Bell wrappers.

At the end of the session, I ended up liking the tray better than the prints, but a fun experiment all around.
Strangely, the photos of the tray here really look like I was printing on the convex, inside of the tray. But it's an illusion - it was definitely on the concave out/underside of the tray.

I had to do a two hour demo yesterday, this is my display...made of styrofoam, royal icing and gumpaste, setting on the Wilton cupcake stand.

My boyfriend and me started to bring in the "macro monday", to be forced to shoot at least one macro every week. On that one day a package came, which was also filled with styrofoam and I started to try out some things with it. In the end it was a water drop, that I positioned on top of the styrofoam, lighted from behind. Under it was a lilac place mat out of pearls, that caused the shimmery bokeh.
All I really need to know about how to live and what to do and how to be I learned in kindergarten. Wisdom was not at the top of the graduate school mountain, but there in the sand pile at school.
These are the things I learned:
Share everything.
Play fair.
Don't hit people.
Put things back where you found them.
Clean up your own mess.
Don't take things that aren't yours.
Say you're sorry when you hurt somebody.
Wash your hands before you eat.
Flush.
Warm cookies and cold milk are good for you.
Live a balanced life - learn some and think some and draw and paint and sing and dance and play and work every day some.
Take a nap every afternoon.
When you go out in the world, watch out for traffic, hold hands and stick together.
Be aware of wonder. Remember the little seed in the Styrofoam cup: the roots go down and the plant goes up and nobody really knows how or why, but we are all like that.
Goldfish and hamsters and white mice and even the little seed in the Styrofoam cup - they all die. So do we.
And then remember the Dick-and-Jane books and the first word you learned - the biggest word of all - LOOK.
Everything you need to know is in there somewhere. The Golden Rule and love and basic sanitation. Ecology and politics and equality and sane living.
Take any one of those items and extrapolate it into sophisticated adult terms and apply it to your family life or your work or government or your world and it holds true and clear and firm. Think what a better world it would be if we all - the whole world - had cookies and milk at about 3 o'clock in the afternoon and then lay down with our blankies for a nap. Or if all governments had as a basic policy to always put things back where they found them and to clean up their own mess.
And it is still true, no matter how old you are, when you go out in the world, it is best to hold hands and stick together.

Styrofoam can take over a million years to break down. It can be said to fragment rather than decompose. styrofoam is a very dangerous material for this reason. When styrofoam fragments it becomes a choking hazard for many animals in the area as well as being an intrusive material that ends up everywhere.
Plastic is intrusive, lasting, and non-degradable. It is up to us as individuals to make a change. If nothing is done soon, the damage may be irreversible. With that goes our clean supply of drinking water and a large portion of our food that many people are dependent on. The focus of this series is on single use plastics and litter. My hope is that by showing people how plastic gets incorporated in the environment it will spark a change. Minimize single use plastics and recycle as much as you can.
The painting is engulfing as a result of being primitive, free from justification and the sense of guilt for not being intellectual. It comes from the unconscious creative the psychological drive which is not adapted to a language of nuances and does not require decoding.
Mirits spectator is bombarded with a colorful abundance, with repeating images and metaphors that are easily perceived and identified. For the person who is accustomed to the sophisticated art form, this is a fresh breath of immediate beauty.
Perhaps this is the place and the time to go deeper into the roots of a culture which for generations now has been obscured with theories and isms.

Hi everybody! I have been in the world's biggest funk lately. Lots of stuff going down in my life (some good, some bad). I've decided I need to start working through some muck with the help of my camera. OK, I confess, this image I took a couple of months ago, so I suppose this one doesn't count, but still. I'm going to start being more active here again and I look forward to seeing what you all have been up to! I've missed this place. :-D
These two young Egyptian goose eating a melon with junk and styrofoam guess this will not be a long happy life for both of them. sad to see
I found this compressed Styrofoam cup washed ashore on a local beach in Northern Okinawa.
Styrofoam is a huge problem in the ocean. Marine life and seabirds accidently ingest micro plactics and Styrofoam on a regular basis.
Styrofoam breaks down into tiny pieces making it difficult to clean up.
