21.5 (W) x 29.5 (H) x 7 (D) cm Acrylic, chalk paint, and gold leaf on key box. This artwork is created using a refurbished keybox. The painted key shows a SHA (a kind of key) on it s stem, that means "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog". The three hares below are one of my favourite visual puzzles. "Drei Hasen und der Löffel drei und doch hat jeder seine zwei." or translated "Three hares sharing three ears, Yet every one of them has two." (Germany, 1858). When I lived in Germany, I became aware of the Three Hares motif, and have loved it ever since. Show more
