Reused materials are of great interest and impact these days.
Four sculptures by Chakaia Booker in the garden at the Katonah Museum of Art provide the most stimulating experience of outdoor art in Westchester right now. Not only does Ms. Booker, 56, possess a natural eye for expressive forms, but her materials — cast-off rubber tires from cars, trucks and tractors — are manipulated with such zeal as to suggest a vivid essay on how to make art from unorthodox materials.
Integrity comes natural to the artist because it is the raw material that invisibly dominates her work — honesty is the medium of choice.John Maeda (on Twitter)
BLDGBLOG has a great post called “Surface/structure/fold”:
Elijah Porter, a student at the Yale School of Architecture, has a great Flickr set up called Material Formation in Design. It features several awesome examples of how strategic cutting can transform a solid surface into a porous structure.
Exciting stuff!
Might be old news, but in the future I am making a note to buy extra strength transparent duct tape.
