See that trash laying in a crinkled heap by the curb? Quick! Look again! It's a giant monster come to life! Joshua Allen Harris is one of the creative young artists creating and embracing the spirit of what art is all about - making a person stop and think.
Harris's art is very public and uses nothing more than tape and several plastic garbage or grocery bags. Borrowing from air vents meant to circulate New York City's subway system, his creation lay in pile idly over a vent like nothing more than a piece of discarded refuse only to spring up, filling with air, to become a polar bear, loch ness monster, or giraffe!
Before you have time to grab you camera to snap a quick photograph, it tumbles like an autumn leaf back to the pavement, waiting for the next subway gust to bring it to life.
