Object Description
A large wooden clothespin painted red. The metal spring is painted gold. This is a piece off of the third panel of Thomas Xenaki's mixed media art titled Doxology. This piece either fell off or was taken off.
Origin
This is Thomas Xenakis's artistic interpretation of Doxology (part 4 of a series of 4 pieces.) The focus or inspiration for this piece is derived from events and rituals taking place mostly during Lent; chants/songs practiced on Holy Thursday and Great Friday. It's the artist's visual interpretation of the Hymn. The numbers in the framed spaces correspond both to the paintings and the Greek text on the art panel.
