The Counting Game

$500.00

A collage of memory fragments, this piece overlays vintage educational materials—counting pennies, zebra illustrations, words like “Caterpillar,” “One Little, Two Little”—with opaque coin-like shapes and faded textures. The repeated round forms echo both childhood currency and soft organs, creating a rhythmic interplay between the literal and the symbolic.

There’s a tension between innocence and commercialization, learning and commodification. The presence of educational cues (“Adobe Spark,” “Books for Kids,” flashcard text) situates the piece somewhere between schoolroom and advertisement, nostalgia and critique.
