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 #14
The 14th Gift is cutting, weaving, and folding. The occupations furnish materials for practice in certain skills, lead to invention and give the child power. I focused on the weaving aspect of the occupation and used primary and secondary colored paper, as well as black and white paper – cut in ½” strips – to construct patterns with the paper.
