Bathroom Toy Pile
“Fatty Jubbo” (aka Chicago artist Greg Jacobsen) recently posted this photo essay and tour of his friend Matt Marsden’s home in Chicago. While I tend to doubt that such an obsessively filled and organized living space like this could handle a visit from our entire class, I’ve been tempted to ask Greg if he could at act as a liaison and see if Matt might accommodate a visitor or three. His collections look truly extraordinary and speak to not just an accumulation of random crap, but a living environment that extends from a rich and playful imagination, or a hyper-detailed mental world made physical through found and manipulated objects.
Sensitive readers might want to note that Greg’s writing is at times rather… colorful.
