Put your trust in Darren Bader's fusion of unlikely objects
It is important to let your gut trust the work of certain artists. And just as something in your gut would tell you to trust someone at a party confidently telling you to climb on to the roof with them and throw cactii from the chimneys, you must put your faith in Darren Bader. Bader creates debatable pieces of installation based only upon his certainty that the objects just “go together.” He is able to fill entire spaces with contrasting, incompatible paraphernalia whilst the doubting public look on, only then to be astounded at the magic he is making. You didn’t think Tahini could go well with buttons? Well think again…
