paper plates and glue
Tara Donovan transforms the humble paper plate into a mesmerizing accumulation of form and texture, stacking and adhering countless identical objects until they transcend their ordinary origins. Through the repetitive bonding of these everyday domestic items, she creates a sculptural mass that seems to breathe and undulate, blurring the boundary between the manufactured and the organic. The work exemplifies Donovan's signature practice of using vast quantities of a single commonplace material to produce something sublime and otherworldly.
