Who needs paint and a canvas or a block of wood to carve.
When you have crayolas, you don't as Diem Chau proves with her Chinese Zodiac which was displayed at Pulse Miami (December 2-5, 2010).
Pulse Miami runs at the same time as Art Basel Miami.
We discovered this work of art thanks to Phaidon Agenda who were kind enough to share it with us)…
In addition, contemporary art fans might want to read An Insider's Guide to Art Basel Miami (November 30) by Sarah McCrory, also via Phaidon Agenda.
I found out via Diem Chau's blog The Pleasure of Tiny Things that she was also "commissioned to carve 10 crayons with 10 different world currency symbols on them" (picture below, from her 'Making Money' piece).
