Monthly Make

November: Make something that can move, act, travel, shift, animate, transform or otherwise engage the concepts of movement and/or mobility in materialized form!

Suspended Bird

Mike Sweeney, Artist

A halted flight, wavering in any slightly moving breeze. This suspended bird is made from woven and cut paper with a cedar body. The bird is suspended a few inches from the wall on guitar wire and supported by a slender, laminated, bent cedar arm. (for sale: $450 – shipping including within the United States).

January: Think back to an early memory of craft with paper (such as kindergarten projects made for a parent!) and revisit this type of work today.
