Originally realized for the artist’s exhibition A Flower Is A Lovesome Thing in 2018 at Chapter NY, Sam Anderson’s Harp is both a sculpture and a functional object: an object around which a whole psychological landscape pivots. The exhibition invited visitors into a multi-layered experience, including cultural references (among them the title, taken from a Vince Guaraldi Trio track). In this context the harp suggested the onset of a dream sequence – often cued in film by the rippling notes from such an instrument. The ethereal effect is enhanced by its ghostly whiteness and polychromatic strings.
