Silly Goose waddles into being from coils, spikes, and fragments of steel. Playful yet expressive, this whimsical figure carries the humor of folklore tricksters.
In folklore, geese are both sacred and silly — guardians of temples in Rome, sacred to Hera, and comic figures in countless tales. Silly Goose embraces this dual role, emerging from coils, springs, and spikes to create a creature brimming with character. Its posture is curious, its spring-neck almost ready to bob in mischief. Like trickster figures across myth, it refuses solemnity, instead bringing joy and humor into its presence. It is a reminder that not all spirits are grave; some come honking with laughter, reminding us to delight in imperfection and play. Crafted entirely from salvaged parts, Silly Goose carries both the history of its fragments and the levity of its new form.
