© Todd Heisler / The NewYorkTimesThis is fascinating. Its a Chinese artist's installation of all his mother's "stuff" from her home, after she died, titled "Waste Not". (Be sure to click on the slide show to see it all.)
Just on a visual level, I love the mosaic-y look of it. And it makes me wonder what all of my stuff would look like if I sorted it and categorized it and laid it out in a similar fashion.
I'm intrigued with all the tubes of toothpaste ~ why?
If I did this, just the tubes of paint and colored pencils alone would be something to see. But I guess its the stuff you don't think about so much, like everything in the junk drawer in the kitchen, weird jars full of odd nuts and bolts and orphaned hardware from IKEA projects and aborted curtain rod hanging experiments, all of the "maybe I'll use this someday" kinds of things that are just as much a part of who you are as the prettier things. I certainly know I wouldn't want it all displayed at the MOMA in NY for all the world to see...
