Oduduwa's Gift
This is my "Response" for the ArtsWorcester show "Call and Response". The show was a great concept.  This piece will be on show again later this year.


Ododowa's Gift
Copper tube, found fieldstone
My show statement:
The spiral form is a recurring theme in many cultures throughout the world, often evoking mystical fascination.  Oduduwa brought the primal substance of land to the oceanic world in the shell of a snail. The resulting land gave copper; useful, precious, and beautiful, to the Yoruba.
