"Early One Morning" by New York City-based Andy Yoder
On exhibit at the PULSE New York Contemporary Art Fair May 8 -11, 2014.
Andy Yoder assembled
thousands of hand-painted matchsticks into a globe forty-two-inches in diameter over the course of two long years. Each match was
glued onto a foam and cardboard frame inside a plywood skeleton after it was painted. And, in case you’re daydreaming about setting this matchstick Earth aflame, Yoder’s son, YoderAustin, has explained that the entire piece was coated in flame retardant, though that seems to rather defeat the purpose, if you ask me.
