Bucket of Rain

raindrop mobile installation
Bucket of Rain, Jennifer Justice, 2021. Installation, lathe-turned walnut, pecan, cherry, maple, elm, ball chain, and iron spout.
Image Description:

A mobile hangs from the ceiling suspended by a ghostly iron bucket rim tilted above our heads. The thread chain droplets are cool to the touch like running your hands under pouring water, a big contrast to the rusty spout. Carved wood raindrops dangle from the ends of each droplet chain. The vertical human scale and materials invite touch and play, running fingers down the long chains of water to explore the fine finish and weight of the cherry, pecan, walnut, maple, and elm raindrops, some of which are heavy and bulbous while others are a couple of centimeters long, a whisper in the palm. The resulting tactile interaction with the work emulates the universal human activity of cleansing rituals or hand-washing.
