COME LET US LIVE WITH OUR INNER CHILDREN: Casey Glover

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 #2

Gift #2. This "stress relief" drawing was completed during the time of our initial exploration of Mr. Froebel's gifts. As an afterthought it reflects a management of the multifaceted gift collection, which would later be paired down to a few symbolic monuments. The narrative of the drawing is a figure's submersion in physical objects as information, and an identification of the fluidity and immateriality of simple, blockish forms.

GIFT #4

WO ONE by Casey Glover

This is a sound piece I constructed similarly to the graph paper drawings. It uses cubic repetition and gradual morphing motion to evoke the feeling of tumbling blocks. Some of the frequencies and timbres I associate with the scorching color of the drawings in a Froebel "slot machine."

GIFT #8

Hi. These drawings represent to me working within two major restrictions: the geometric gridlock of graph paper, and the regimented palette of a 24 unit crayon box. This was certainly an exercise that coincides with Froebel's emphasis on discovering freedom and creativity through the implication of simple geometry. I found faces, highways, doors, etc., in a depth of pictorial space.
