Love This! "The Art of Clean-Up"

All images courtesy of Ursus Wehrli.

As a person with a somewhat OCD, type-A personality, the work of Swiss artist and comedian, Ursus Wehrli, is right up my alley. I'm extremely interested in how he came up with such a fabulous/wild idea for this series of photographs, and love it that he not only came up with the idea, but that he actually followed through and created an entire book around the concept. 

The gist--which I'm sure you've already picked up on from the images above--is that he takes objects and scenes from everyday life and rearranges them into organized, orderly stacks, rows, or groups. It's satisfying, in a way, to look at his work, but also very humorous, clever, and crazy--especially when you see the large-scale images like the one above ;) 

I'm dying to see the entire collection, but you can take a look at a small selection from the book below...

Aren't they fabulous!? I love it.

I think I may need to pick up his book, The Art of Clean Up: Life Made Neat and Tidy, so that I can see all of the images he came up with.

You can read more about Ursus Wehrli on his website, here, and can hear his TED talk (which I'm excted to listen to and will do tomorrow!), here.

I hope you have a neat and tidy day! Makes you want to clean something, doesn't it!?

Namaste,
Mary Catherine
