Attention all obsessive-compulsives



 Swiss artist, comedian and cabaret artist Ursus Wehrli's (http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ursus_Wehrli) work really appeals to my OCD tendancies. First in his project 'Ursus Wehrli Tides Up Art' and in his recent project 'The Art of Clean Up' where he takes everyday objects (cars, people, found items), meticulously decontructs them and places them into a near-perfect state. Breaking things down, sorting things out, establishing order from chaos and the desire to obtain accurate numbers.

I am aware that I strive for order more when I am stressed or frustrated, to obtain a little bit of control where there is none. Perhaps this is why his work has grabbed my attention.
