These items are just some of the items that Tara Donovan uses in her art. This list to the normal person would sound like items you might find in a recycle bin or a junk yard, but to Tara Donovan these items are full of artistic potential. She likes to take everyday items like the ones listed above to create installation pieces that take the objects to entirely different levels of meaning. In many of her pieces she uses thousands of little pieces to create one large masterpiece. Like her untitled pieces using styrofoam cups it starts out with just one cup but soon you have hundreds and then thousands of cups forming beautiful naturalistic shapes. She explains that she chooses the material before she decides what can be done with it. She noted in an interview that she thinks "in terms of infinity, of [the materials] expanding."
