About this work

This looks like a small wall piece made of junk. Clear plastic wraps a green plant. Brown paper and wire hold it all together. A red stick pokes out from the top. The whole thing is loose and uneven. The artist used cheap, everyday stuff to build it. Nothing is painted—just real materials stuck together. Look up Richard Tuttle next to see how he turns trash into art.
