Found in Anne Marie's studio

Anne Marie actually pulled me along to her studio instead of bringing me an object, since she herself collects broken objects for her own art making, and thus had a wide range of possibilities to choose from.

This also, and many more interesting things.

It was a bit of a cheat maybe for me to go and pick some objects out myself, but since she works in a similar way to me it also gave us a good excuse to swap opinions, and for me to have a look at Flax studios which I had wanted to see anyway. These two pieces suggested themselves both in shape and in function, the cage being bottomless which meant the divers eye might come in handy.

The combination gave itself really.

The impression of the cage with the Cyclops’ eye was one of depression, but it lacked personality. I felt again that a protagonist was called for, to pull the suggested story along, and to further focus the attention of the viewer. The scruffy old bird is hanging on for what he is worth, fearing the fall to such an extent that he is missing the obvious opportunity of escape.

Clay and feathers, and a conscious lack of too much detail.

Object no. 20 & 21
