Shell Sand Pouring


During my internship I created this work.  Actually my two sons created this work.  I was working on my synthesis and they happened to be in the same room playing with shells.  At one point I looked over and one of them was pouring sand back and forth between two shells.  It was such an "ah-ha" moment!  A new pouring work.  We tried it in class and it was a hit.  It helps to find the right shells.  The two shells shown here worked well for the pouring.  It teaches the child to be more delicate and careful with their pouring.
