Chinese Sticks. Boston, “Silent” Mora, 1953.

Item Details

Description

Chinese Sticks. Boston, “Silent” Mora, 1953. The cords running through each bamboo stick react in sympathy to each other. As the end of one is pulled, the other retracts, and vice-versa, even though the cords are not connected. Hand painted by Mora, signed and dated by him on the reverse. Each stick also bears a different hand-written quote by Mora. 12” long. Very good.
