Tara Donovan created an amazing piece of artwork with something ordinary. She used paper cups and made it into something different by multiplying and manipulating the shape of cups. By gathering a lot of Styrofoam cups, she placed them in a way that forms a totally different shape. I like how Donovan was able to utilize the simple textures of cups and turned it into a different, more complicated texture. The texture and pattern of this sculpture looks absolutely stunning under the light because of the layers of the cups. Since the cups are made of Styrofoam, the amount of light that travels through can be controlled. In my opinion, this cupart sculpture looks like a pool of cloud in the sky, with sunlight illuminating in the background. Thousands of styrofoam cups substituted the fluffiness of nature clouds, so it can be displayed indoors. I like how this sculpture has depth, which creates shadow, making the 'cloud' seem more real. Also, the massive size of this artwork brings in a certain striking factor that attracts viewers. I think this piece of artwork can expression several emotions, depending on the colour of the light illuminating in the back.
