She also had a piece that was made by inking a series of rubber bands and using them as stamps on a piece of paper. There was something wonderfully compulsive and obsessive about the two pieces that I really loved.P Chenghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18371017916963619950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11023708.post-51161198783599717932008-09-09T22:10:00.000-04:002008-09-09T22:10:00.000-04:00I found this particular installation neat (is "nea...I found this particular installation neat (is "neat" an outdated adjective?), but I find it hard to appreciate an artist's abilities after just seeing one work.Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08750573058922493288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11023708.post-35285089382618163692008-09-09T21:08:00.000-04:002008-09-09T21:08:00.000-04:00I'm looking forward to her show at the Boston ICA ...I'm looking forward to her show at the Boston ICA this fall. They had a great piece of hers that was a four foot or so cube made of pins. That's all. No magnets, so glue, just pins pressed together into a cube that held itself. <BR/><BR/>Donovan is one of those rare avant garde artists who also has a fantastic aesthetic sense. You can appreciate the beauty, the theories or both.Mr Crossonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01482737832596610004noreply@blogger.com
