Art means taking something so simple and when in the hands of an artist it becomes something magnificent. This is when art happens. Whether it is an old tire used for a Rural Studio project, a rock in Environmental Art, or like in this image - mold - all these things are ordinary (or perhaps unusual) objects until an artist gets a hold of them and creates what then becomes art.
This piece is from Gail Wight's 2004 CREEP exhibit. In this piece Wight explored the simple beauty of color and growth patterns of slime mold. http://www.artnet.com/magazineus/reviews/davis/davis2-14-07_detail.asp?picnum=3
