Tw*ster / Sam Sheffield

This project is part of Container's Multitudes series, which invites writers and artists to transform the same object into works of visual and literary art. In this series, participants were invited to interpret a vintage board game. Proceeds from the sale of these items are split equally between Container and the artist.

ARTIST'S STATEMENT

I have always found Twister's highly physical game play incredibly inspiring. For this project, I was interested in exploring this embodied nature and using it to think about ways in which games create complex, playful spaces for intimacy, permission, and control.

TOOLS & MATERIALS

Felt, rubber, polymer clay, paper, cotton bondage rope
