LearnAlison Ouellette-Kirby and Noah Kirby’s collaborative work features large scale interactive sculptures that involve traditional metal casting, forging and fabrication. The end results are interactive works that encourage viewer participation to activate the work and space. Movement, light and shadow, are integral to their art. The exhibition breaks down the barrier of the traditional “don’t touch the artwork” museum policy.
