Fred Tomaselli at the Tang Musem

Fred Tomaselli is known for his many works that incorporates such things as real plants, pills and magazine clippings cut to perfection and arranged to create works such as the piece to the right, Octillo Nocturne. This work features pills of all different sizes and colors and are arranged in such a way that the viewer may not notice that they are pills until looking much closer. My perspective is that the pills and medications in the artwork give it a more three-dimensional aspect. I selected this particular piece because I like the colors featured in the background and that the pills are arranged to look like dream catchers. This piece reminded me of laying in the dew filled grass and looking up at the stars on a warm summer night.
