COME LET US LIVE WITH OUR INNER CHILDREN is a collaborative interactive sculpture created by artists Feyishara Adelekan, Rebecca Bersohn, Erica Garber, Casey Glover, Catharine Maloney, Adena Stevens and Liz Zacharia. The title is an adaptation of an original mistranslation of Froebel's philosophy. The following visual diary is the result of the artists' research of Frederick Froebel, the inventor of Kindergarten, and his 20 gifts that combine learning, art and play. As they have, the artists invite the viewers to connect with their own INNER children through play.

GIFT #11


Pricking, Gift #11, uses a sharp tool called an awl to prick holes into paper to create designs. These designs were placed on windows and light sources to observe the full effect. It serves two main purposes in the sequence of gifts: first as a bridge between drawing and sewing, but also as the finale in the progression from physical objects deconstructed into lines and flat shapes and concluding with insubstantial pinpricks of light. I chose to use my pinprick art as a lampshade in my bedroom.
