Sometimes it amazes me how something as simple as the repeated use of self-adhesive stickers can result in something that can be perceived as art. There can be such a complexity behind the process behind the pieces. As noted in the accompanying text, "something as banal as a colored sticker is transformed metaphorically from a singular, unlinked cell into a larger collective mass." While the bright vibrant flashes of blue, yellow, green, orange, and red make this piece a really intriguing piece to look at (I thought it was like a color blind test piece), the text notes the suggestion of something more malignant like "invasive or violent gathering masses". Another thing to take note on is the fact that its composition is done on-site of the location. Each sticker placed is done so in relation to the actions of the artist's own choosing so that each time this piece is presented it varies. How cool that a banal act of placing stickers can be such a reflection of an artist?
Let's sit back, observe, and ponder.
