This whimsical interactive piece invites the viewer to look closely at the array of little elements and use the abacus to count the things for which they are grateful.  Are you grateful for McDonald’s French fries? Aliens?  Baseball?  Coffee? Your brain?  Love?  Tune into the spirit of thankfulness as you move the abacus disks from one side to the other.  Could be a fun piece in a kitchen, bathroom, or child’s bedroom.

Materials:  Abacus; assorted minatures and ephemera; plexiglass circles; art papers; “Reasons for Being Thankful” text from vintage Sunday School primer; acrylic paints. In cradled board.
