Kjell responds to a series of questions regarding this sculpture. | ||
|
1. What do you see when you look at this sculpture? A spoon and a cherry. 2. What would you name this sculpture? Cherry atop spoon over waterbr> 3. Why? What is it about the sculpture that made you give it the name you did? I gave it the name I did because there's a cherry atop a spoon going over water. |
 |
4. What did the artist name it? Why do you think s/he gave it that name? They named it Spoonbridge and Cherry. Probably because if the spoon were a bridge it would probably be called "spoonbridge" and there's a cherry on top. 5. What do you like about the picture you took of the sculpture? The reflection of light onto water reflected again onto the spoon. |
