Wooden Spoon 1935 - 1942

An unknown artist made this depiction of a Wooden Spoon, but when and with what, we don't know. I wonder, did they sit in front of a real spoon, or was it from memory, or a sketch? It's like they're saying, 'Hey, look at this spoon. Isn't it something?' The spoon itself seems to float, slightly, like it's in its own little world. I wonder what it's for. Is it for stirring something delicious, or is it just there, existing as a simple, beautiful object? What kind of labor was involved to make it? It reminds me of the kind of art that makes you slow down and appreciate the everyday things around you. Like, yeah, it's just a spoon, but someone took the time to really see it, to capture its form and texture. It makes you think about the beauty of simplicity.
