Teens at the Boys & Girls Aid Society in Portland were given wood scraps from a moulding company, millinery supplies, small toys and evocative objects & materials. They learned to use a pull saw and assemble materials to represent their concept of themselves or their dreams.
“Transformation” is a result of the class demonstration. It functions as an intimate sculpture or as a model for a residential or public art installation.
