Genesis after Tom Friedman
Tom Friedman the writes the Solomon R. Guggenheim creates sculptures out of everyday materials. Since 1990 he has worked with such commonplace household items as toothpaste, cubes of sugar, cereal boxes, Pepto-Bismol, and Life Savers. With painstakingly labor-intensive and time-consuming craftsmanship, Friedman transforms these modest resources into delicate, whimsical, and uncanny objects, ranging from self-portraits to abstract geometric configurations.

The Devil' nest
The Devil' nest II
The Devil' nest III
These series of art installations were ominous, I considered "The Devil's Nest" satanic in nature. The portrait is the devil, Lucifer. Three toilet rolls were used to represent the goat's bull horn and chin. The question is why? Is there an underlining connection with Friedman's whimsical pieces? The gallery space was fumigated. The work was dismantled, trashed and the cocoyea ribs burnt.
