System Artist: Tara Donovon (cont.)


This work by Tara Donovon, called "Transplanted," invokes the magnitude of the line--its power to create anything--and how (with what material) one may grasp this. The picture is simply a detail of an enormous piece of art encompassing lines that are made, not from any drawing utensil, but rather from stacked tarpaper. The detail is especially interesting because, if known to be only a part of the whole, there are a myriad of things one can imagine the whole to be. Thus, this selection provides an intriguing perspective on the formation of lines as well as their potential for expression.
