POPS18 piece religious art made from junk "The Throne of the Third Heaven of the Nations’ Millennium General Assembly" titles this collection of extraordinary pieces, cobbled together over 14 years by James Hampton. Hampton was an African-American janitor in Washington, DC. A man of modest means, Hampton rented some storage space in an alley and created this work out of discarded bits of foil and plastic, junk furniture and second-hand items. The work wasn't discovered until after his death in 1964, when the landlord of the storage space opened it up to clear it out. It now resides in the Smithsonian's folk art display.

POPSArt of the moment: Heart's Wreath by Niklas Meijer This is one of the works that didn't make the finals for the fractal art contest. What first drew me to the image was that it looked like a campfire. The wood burns white-hot. There's a great sense of motion in the flame, and the repetition that defines fractal art demonstrates the conversion of wood to smoke. The title, "Heart's Wreath," makes me wonder what the artist had in mind. Is this the heart of the fire, and the smoke is the wreath? What do you think? Link
