In an earlier post titled, “Does Art Really Matter“, I wrote, “while some people consider art to be about things, it is only nominally about objects. It is about ideas and emotions…” New York artist, Joshua Allen Harris exemplifies this idea in spades. Harris takes trash bags, tape and a prodigious imagination; mixes them with steam from sidewalk subway grates and transforms those materials into kinetic sculptures.
Ancient alchemists were always searching for a way to turn lead into gold. Artists, such as Harris, are able to turn humble materials into visual gold.
