Game of Life (1)

2002

Crying Baby

Made of mixed media collage, acrylic paint on found candy box, wisteria seeds. Each game looks different but the rules are the same. Interactivity between viewers and the art is part of the game. One holds the game, shakes it and hears the rattle of the pieces in the box. Reading the rules and looking at the collage invites complicity on the part of the viewer. Everyone is a player.
