Neil Harshfield

(American, b. 1962)
Turkey-Feed Scoop, 2000
Glass and Found Object; 48 x 9 x 14 inches
Acquired in 2000

In this body of work, Harshfield replaces major parts of garden tools with identical glass elements. He was inspired by his father’s passion for gardening and appreciation for hand tools. Harshfield transforms these tools into fragile pieces of art, bringing a whole new perspective on craftsmanship and working the earth with your hands.
