Ephemera : Sculpturefest 2008 : Stretch

Stretch

Stretch was created for Sculpturefest 2000. This installation featured a rope course set up with cross bamboo poles from which were suspended porcelain spheres which contained gold lustre fired ceramic shell forms.

When a person mastered this course they were able to Stretch out without falling and reach into the vessels and retrieve a golden shell. Occasionally young adults (who recall the piece from their younger years) will ask if it is still here. Very popular interactive installation!!
