Champagne Army – Karen D’Amico

Here is a great idea, an army of champagne corks produced by my London artist friend, Karen D’Amico. It reminds me of those clay Chinese soldiers that were dug up a while back. Another commenter on her blog had the same idea. It is also a great thing to do with all those champagne corks from New Year's Eve. Karen does some wonderful conceptual pieces that you can view at her web site. Karen also does the blog, Fluid Thinking, “a sideways glance at my life: facetious observations on making art punctuated occasionally by serious reflection and perhaps the odd rant.” She also published the ezine, Tangent, on art in London, as in “she has gone off on another tangent.”

You can find more on the champagne army at Karen's web site under images. A coomentary says: "Champagne Army - Though unresolved, this piece of work has references to the Terracotta Army and Antony Gormley's 'Fields for the British Isle', as well as the ongoing 'Accumulations' work, which references the wish to apprehend both time and a sense of containment and order. Notions of accumulation, order, systems and identity are tied up in this work."
