Tara Donovan often constructs her installations and sculptures by
transforming large quantities of mass - produced items — such as drinking straws,
straight pins, wooden toothpicks, and plastic buttons — into stunning works of phenomenal impact.
For nearly two decades Donovan has employed the use of everyday items — plastic cups,
straight pins, buttons and straws — in her practice,
transforming their most basic structural aspects into shape - shifting assemblages that sprawl across walls, floors and ceilings.
