Silent Sculpture: Crow (Sculpture de Silence-Corneille)

Hans Arp said he wanted his sculpture to "walk on the tips of its toes," so these works do not have a designated top or bottom and can be placed at any orientation. They spring to life through this implied sense of animation. In a certain playfulness of possibility, they may freely sprawl about and interact according to their mood, exchanging gestures, extending limbs, and shifting postures as if they were truly moving, living creatures. Their names invite you to listen for the quiet motions of a curious crow or the onomatopoetic "mirr" of a small forest critter.
