“Read Banned Gourds”
Materials: dried gourd, dried seed pods, polymer clay, moldable EVA foam clay
Size: Extra large gourd - approx. 15” x 24” x 15“
Theme: Censorship
Inspiration: I have always been against public censorship of books. Libraries should contain all ideas, even those offensive to some. And, I actually find the idea of banning a book from a library a bit laughable because with the invention of the internet, anything can be read! I chose Dr. Seuss as the book for this piece of art, because he has been banned by both Liberals and Conservatives. “The Sneetches” is a great book with some wise lessons. Read it if you haven’t!
