ABOUT TARA'S WORK
Tara Donovan is an inventive young sculptor whose installations bring wonder to the most common objects of everyday life. Donovan’s site-specific, sculptural works transform ordinary accumulated materials into intriguing visual and physical installations. Choosing a single object – such as a transparent drinking straw, scotch tape, a Styrofoam cup, or a paper clip – Donovan experiments with assembling it in different ways. Sensitive to the specific needs of her materials and the nature of her exhibit spaces, her installations are often arranged in ways reminiscent of geological or biological forms. For her 2003 installation entitled “Haze,” Donovan stacked over two million clear plastic drinking straws against a 42-foot-long gallery wall. The resulting effect, with its shifts in color, form, light, and surface, was that of a fog bank or a diaphanous cloud, providing the viewer with a compelling, perceptually transformative experience. In a 2007 untitled work, Donovan created a 50x60-foot installation using over three million seven-ounce plastic drinking cups in rows of different heights, resembling a serene, iridescent ice field. This singular artist is creating a dazzling body of work that will enrich the fields of contemporary sculpture and installation art for years to come.

关于塔拉的作品
塔拉-多诺万是一位富有创造力的年轻雕塑家，他的装置作品给日常生活中最普通的物品带来了惊喜。多诺万因地制宜的雕塑作品将普通的积累材料转化为耐人寻味的视觉和物理装置。选择一个单一的物体--如透明的饮用水吸管、透明胶带、泡沫塑料杯或回形针--多诺万尝试以不同的方式将其组装起来。对她的材料的特殊需求和她的展览空间的性质很敏感，她的装置经常以让人想起地质或生物形式的方式排列。在她2003年名为 "Haze "的装置中，多诺万将超过200万根透明塑料饮管堆放在42英尺长的画廊墙上。由此产生的效果，其颜色、形式、光线和表面的变化，就像一个雾库或一朵薄薄的云，为观众提供了一个引人注目的、感知上的转变体验。在2007年的一件无名作品中，多诺万用300多万个7盎司的塑料饮料杯创造了一个50x60英尺的装置，在不同的高度上排成一排，就像一个宁静的、彩虹色的冰场。这位奇特的艺术家正在创造一个令人眼花缭乱的作品，将在未来几年内丰富当代雕塑和装置艺术的领域。
