September 2004 Beautiful Booth of the Month Award:Cliff Martin
|
![]() |
| Everything in Cliff Martin's booth is recycled, including the booth structure. Of course it's possible that Cliff himself might be recycled, but that's a metaphysical discussion for another day. Reclaimed pegboard and 2x2s make up the frame, plastic cups and those things that make 45s play on your record player combine with plastic lids and other colorful stuff for finials on top, it's a visual feast. The totally open floor plan makes the booth into a small gallery space, bright and inviting.
And then there's the art part. The walls are encrusted with all the stuff you feel bad about throwing away deconstructed, reconstructed and transformed into whimsical, engaging, intriguing three dimensional art. Blister packs, plastic people, toy cars, computer parts, magazine clippings, aol cds, text fragments, it all looks familiar. The discarded leftovers of Pop Culture are uniquely re-visioned into jewelry, sculptures and wall art. I could go on, but really it's so much more interesting in person. Cliff doesn't have a reserved space, so you'll have to ask at the Info Booth, or better yet take a walk through the Market and look for the bright blue booth. Then enjoy what Cliff Martin has done with all our leftovers... |
