Today I went with my family to the Institute of Contemporary Art. There they had a Tara Donovan exhibit which was absolutely amazing. Tara Donovan takes unconventional items and creates the most gorgeous sculptures with them. In the photo above she took mylar and folded it to form these spherical shapes. All of the sculptures kind of surround you, and it's such a cool effect.
I couldn't find a good image of the entire sculpture. but she made this one out of paper plates.
This sculpture is just cups stacked on top of each other.
This one is made of styrofoam cups put together and the entire sculpture is suspended from the ceiling. The light shines through the cracks in between the cups giving off a nice lighting effect.
Even from a distance I could tell what this was made of. Tara Donovan took pins and put them together in a cube shape. The entire thing is holding itself together, no glue or anything. Tara Donovan's inspiration for this was when she took a small box of toothpicks, turned it over and then pulled the box off. She noticed that the toothpicks still held their cubic shape even after the box was taken off.
I have to confess my love of movies from the 80's; especially classics such as Pretty in Pink (above). I probably wouldn't dress as Molly Ringwald's character does, but I love her spunk. And who doesn't love Duckie? What a cool guy:
I would love to know a guy with the guts to dress like that. The random pieces of the outfit somehow manage to work together.
And the sunglasses. What's up daddy-o?
This spread really fed into my vintage obsession. The off-white tulle is making me swoon...
I have wanted these jewelled headbands for about a year now. I was thinking that maybe I could make some on my own.
How cool would it be to dress up like this for prom? (Cotton candy included) I am actually considering finding a retro pair of sneakers to wear with my prom dress, but we'll see.
