Identical in every way except for reversed Braille messages. The book towers revolve on precision bearings. Each standing 1821mm in height and are the exact proportions of the North and South towers of the World Trade Centre.. www.cruikshank.co.nz
The second in a series of five unique tables each revolving around the word ‘love’ depicted in indented Braille. The Braille centrepiece was created specifically for ArtWithHeart 2011, an art auction instigated by Ed Cruikshank to raise funds for the Red Cross Canterbury 2011 Earthquake Appeal. www.cruikshank.co.nz
Indented rather than raised Braille presents an evident yet generally unreadable message to both blind and sighted observers. It refers to a need for us to co-operate and to collaborate in order to understand and communicate across cultural boundaries of language, race and religion.. www.cruikshank.co.nz
Created in 2006 this highly functional collection piece is pierced with the Braille words love and hate taken from inscribed centre plate of the 1821 table.Â
Each of the edition of 20 is signed and dated by Ed Cruikshank. www.cruikshank.co.nz
The book towers are proportioned to perfectly house the official roundabout catalogue. www.cruikshank.co.nz
