untitled - sugar, shopping cart approx. 102 x 545 x 485 cm

I really enjoy the minimal approach Thomas Rentmeister uses in his artwork.  Rentmeister “over uses” a particular item, allowing the mass quantity of his chosen material, become the main voice of the artwork.

The One Hundred Year Anniversary Commemorative Ford Model-T Lamp and Alarm Clock - brass beds, lamps, clocks, hardware, carpet

Joshua Callaghan has a body of work that is always on the move, working with many materials and methods to create his sculpture.

S.P.E.E.D. (Rapid firing spit wad shooter).

Nathan Dube was the first artist featured on Today in Art when I launched the site in November 2007.  Since then I have changed the style of how I post and I wanted to revisit Nathan to feature more of his work.  I love the childlike nature of his work as it invites the viewer to interact with it.  Another wonderful touch is the instructions that come with many of the pieces, illustrated like a comic.

dark matter #01 - 800 x 650 x 450 cm

Dennis Feddersen thinks big and his sculpture truly invades the space it occupies.  Indoors or outside, his sculpture installations force their way into view as they overtake the surrounding environment.  There is an uncomfortable beauty that I find in these installations as they seem playfully dangerous.
