A Sculpture That Refuses One Shape

Lygia Clark wanted spectators to manipulate her hinged metal sculptures rather than simply look at them. Poetic Shelter belongs to this world of forms that can change through handling. What I find interesting is the loss of a single correct appearance. The artwork does not wait for the viewer in a finished state. Touch becomes part of its structure, and every configuration is temporary.
