Tara Donovan at the Met.

February 15, 2008

Art and science collide again in Tara Donovan’s exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, on view through April 27.

Here are some shots of her gorgeous, surprising work.



This definitely makes my to-do list for my next visit to Manhattan!
