So my new regime has come it to play its time for the first TART (Tuesday art days) hopefully you will get used to the name I like it hope you do too, any feedback on what you think of the new regime would be very grateful.

 But any ways back to the purpose of this TART day I will be talking about the artist, that goes by the name of Tara Donovan. Introduced to me since my foundation course her work are very aesthetically pleasing to look at, the way that she uses material in order to create an entirely different subject matter and objects. The New York based artist makes these sculptures out of the mass produce, the everyday object that we know, then changing their quality of the object to give it higher value in the world of art.

I actually just think that her work is amazing, the way she manipulates an object to make something that is desirable, is amazing an clever.

So yeah that's my artist for this week, my first TART (tuesday art days) and not my last I hope :).
