Sallie Portnoy Sculpture

cast glass
37 x 100 x 15 cm
unique

Three ducks on the wall conjure the ease and grace with which these birds fly through the air; they convey the superficial ambience of permanent stability of mid twentieth century middle class. There isn’t much you can hang on a living room wall that screams mid-century, middle class suburbia more than a trio of ceramic ducks. They have become a well – loved retro symbol of popular kitsch.
