COVID 19 OBJECTS
MADE INTO ART
G'day folks,
I have previously covered the work of Japanese artist Tanaka Tatsuya, who crafts miniature scenes out of everyday objects.
His ongoing Miniature
Calendar series features a tiny scene for every day of the year - sometimes
it’s broccoli plying as a tree or rice balls as mountains. The Covid-19
pandemic has introduced new everyday objects into our lives, like masks and
rubber gloves, which used to be strange but are now a completely ordinary part
of life. To mirror this “new normal” Tatsuya started incorporating them in his
work.
In one image the artist turns a disposable mask into a swimming pool and in
another, descending lengths of toilet paper are transformed into ski slopes.
These virus-related objects, which usually put us in a serious mood, are turned
into fun, exciting landscapes at the hands of the talented Tatsuya.
Clancy's comment: Brilliant. Go, Tanaka Tatsuya!
I'm ...
Brilliant art but a grim reminder of this pandemic calamity.
