Tom Friedman

Happy Fourth of July!
 
Tom Friedman's probably my favorite contemporary artist. This man takes everyday materials, like socks, styrofoam, toothpicks, construction paper - you name it - and creates extraordinary art with it. His pieces definitely make me see the material world, and its potential, in new and creative ways. This book is a great introduction to the artist and and his work.

Cool! It looks like he's featured in Art:21. I have those DVDs but don't recall him. I'll have to pull them out and check out his work. Thanks for the pointer!
