This wood sculpture explores the invisible tension and balance needed in conversing with others. Constructed as a seesaw, this sculpture can only maintain balance when two people are sitting.
This picture was taken at the south edge of the property at 7 College Park Road looking to the southwest. In the back left is a view of Norris Hall before the fourth story was added. The white house behind the children which is now (2017) the Conney M. Kimbo Black Cultural Center was at that time a private residence where the Hansons who ran the Ben Franklin store lived. The children are, left to right: Mona (a friend), Karna Smith, Trouble (the dog) and Bruce Smith. Probably taken in the winter of 1964/65.
