“Scroll Up” Creations by Hadieh Shafie

As a child I LOVED playing “Hens and Chicks”. Some people called it Booby Trap. It was a wooden contraption where you took turns removing round pegs until the entire thing collapsed on itself. Anyway, it was the first thing I thought of when I saw Haidieh Shafie’s fabulous “sculptruction art things” Her pieces are rolled scrolls of Farsi text tucked into frames. Not a game.
