	Mary Mattingly - "Life  of Objects" 2013

"Mary Mattingly's work Life of Objects (2013) is part sculpture, part performance piece. It forces the viewer to feel the weight of an irregular sphere of the artist's collected and nearly discarded possessions. The visceral experience of seeing this trash boulder pinning the artist to the floor communicates the harms of overconsumption perhaps more strongly than familiar reminders to reduce, reuse,and recycle." p.278.
