wooden toothpicks
A massive accumulation of thousands of wooden toothpicks interlocked and stacked to form an organic, undulating sculptural mass that seems to breathe and shift with the light. Donovan's signature process of aggregating everyday, identical objects transforms the humble toothpick into something monumental and landscape-like, blurring the boundary between the natural and the manufactured. The work invites viewers to oscillate between seeing the whole and fixating on its repetitive individual components.
