As New York City based artist, Susan Weinthaler, casually deconstructed and reconstructed one of her pieces during the AD Home Show, I couldn't help but stop to find out what she was up to. We were invited to pick up, investigate, and rearrange any one of her "BITS" to create a combination all our own. Each one of these little works of art, are covered on 5 sides with an image, or a color, or finish of some kind. On the back (the 6th side) a small magnet adheres the BIT to a magnetic surface. I was expecting the magnets to be fairly strong, and perhaps only being able to move one at a time. Susan showed us that you can literally place your hand on top of 3 or 4, and move them quite easily around the metal canvas. Susan's work is based on the idea that "Life is not rigid... so why should art be?"
