size #17 straight pins
A mesmerizing accumulation of thousands of ordinary straight pins, meticulously arranged to form a sprawling, organic mass that transcends the humble nature of its industrial components. Donovan's signature process of aggregating everyday objects transforms the mundane into something ethereal, as the collective glint of metal creates shifting surfaces of light and texture. The work challenges perception, blurring the boundary between the individual unit and the whole, inviting viewers to reconsider the transformative potential hidden within repetition and scale.
