Gentlemen, If You Need Me, I’ll Be Down By The River.

Dorodango by Bruce Gardner

The object above in made of dirt. It is made by Bruce Gardner using some dirt he found, some water, and his hands. There were no further tools but his ability to synthesize the playtime activity of children in the mud with the scientific exploration of Dr. Fumio Kayo.

Hands, dirt, water, time. The four elements of art.

    You know, it’s funny: I was considering naming this post Polishing a Turd After All.
