Toothpick Cube

Art by Tara Donovan: Cube of Toothpicks, at Acegallery.net.


Installation artist Tara Donovan's hallmark is her use of ordinary mass-produced products in repetitive patterns and layering. Donovan has used materials as banal as plastic drinking straws, fishing wire, paper plates, tar paper, Styrofoam cups, wooden toothpicks, tempered glass and steel pins in her fascinating installations, quite often relying on friction and gravity to keep the piece together.


The obvious question (how many?) isn't answered.

Great Blog, enjoyed it ! I'm trying to get a site up about Texas Holdem Poker. It's interesting ,but not getting much traffic ! Maybe words like poker odds is scaring them away. ---Jack---
