Exchange

clay, wood, nails, hot glue

This piece is a continuation of my study of the crane and the way my family has changed the meaning of the form. The slip enabled me to do this visually by creating a hundred different gestures frozen in clay. The piece consists of 5 black boards which are separate but have the potential to fit together. The cranes are then arranged in such a way that although they are grouped on separate bases, they create an illusion that they are meant to be together.
