i’m jealous of tara donovan
Whoa.
These stunningly beautiful, insanely meticulous installations are by Brooklyn based artist Tara Donovan. I was thinking of leaving the close-ups out of the post so that I could have an amazing contest with fabulous prizes for the people who correctly guessed what each piece was made from… but the detailed views were just too fantastic, and I had to show them… oh, and also, I had no fabulous prizes to give out.

How about this….I’m jealous of….the jealous curator! What beautiful and inspiring work you have selected. Yet also, intimidating, and jealous-making. Your blog is a wonderful idea, a great way to celebrate fabulous work from the perspective of another artist. Can’t wait to see what else you are jealous of.
