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 #7



The 7th gift of parquetry is the bridge between the preceding 3 dimensional gifts and the following 2 dimensional gifts. After thorough experimentation with the prior tangible forms students would be presented with flat geometric tiles to continue exploring ideas of parts to whole and the interconnectedness of all things. My personal exploration of parquetry actually began with paper folding (gift 18) which led to dividing colored squares of construction paper into smaller shapes. After arranging and rearranging these shapes into abstract designs and simple representations they began to have a life all their own. Stop motion animation seemed like the perfect way to show the inherent liveliness present in this gift.
