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 #20


After working with the previous 19 Gifts kindergarteners were finally allowed to put all of their lessons to use with modeling clay in the 20th Gift. In my experimentation and play, kneading molding and shaping, I made my own spheres and cubes, that turned into houses, faces, creatures, and flowers. This one ball of clay could be many things, but I finally I decided to make a little flock of birds. Each one slightly different and unique, yet together they form a neat cohesive group. It seemed to me a fitting metaphor for not only the collection of Gifts but also our own group working together.
