Wu Gaozhong's Windshield Wipers

These pear wood carved windshield wipers are embedded with black boar bristle, giving them the appearance of growing hair. They are part of Chinese contemporary artist Wu Gaozhong's series of "hairy" sculptures, everday objects from his past, or pivotal moments in his life. These works offer intimate sites of remembrance that offer a "madeline dipped in tea" (to paraphrase Proust) that trigger memories of our own associated with such common, ordinary objects and lost moments in our own lives.
