This is a photo of a green SeeSaw with a plastered hand on one side and two feet perched in a lovely way on the other side. There is a poem painted on the SeeSaw in white letters that has been painted over again, and it vaguely shows through. Feed of all shapes and sizes gather around, pointed towards the SeeSaw.

This sculpture is a collaboration between two sisters and best friends, exploring their relationship- one of constant connection, weight, (im)balance, and flight.

The majority of the piece was conceived of and also created outside of official studio space, the sisters flitting into the studio to assemble it when institutional time and space designated appropriate.

In the in-between spaces, and time beyond the reach of school schedules, such as hospital beds, library stacks, offices under the cover of dark, chicken wire was bent, a poem was written, and feet were darling- the SeeSaw came to be.

The SeeSaw was destroyed almost as soon as it was completed. It was incredibly unstable. Various toes from our feet and hands, however, remain.

This is a photo of Alana’s feet, sculpted by Alana and Maria from plaster and wire, perched in a darling way on top of a shelf.
