Beautiful Disaster…

Though it reminds me of work by one of my favorite artists, Tara Donovan can’t take any credit for this everyday-stuff-turned-art. It’s by a malfunctioning automatic dispenser which spat an entire roll of papertowel most carefully on a gray tiled bathroom floor.

Abbey should be excited about this post because it includes more photos from woodpiles in Vermont.
