Art I LIke: Tom Friedman

Tom Friedman is another artist who uses the written word in a creative and witty way, as here:




Untitled 1990 The artist writes his signature repeatedly for the life of a pen 106.7 cm
(detail below)





Many of his works are made of recycled paper or cardboard, but the focus is on the material itself, rather than any writing it contained.  This is another example, which I like for it's simplicity and sense of balance.

sculpture, Assemblage de rondelles de papiers, 27 cm x 65 cm




More of his work, and about him, is here.
