Other Fruit Would Do, 1991
Bill Will
(American, born 1951)
Location: Washington State Arts Commission, Olympia
ABOUT THE ARTWORK
Other Fruit Would Do is part of a series of mixed media sculptures by artist Bill Will. The playful sculptures are made of found objects, often with sounds and moving elements as well. Will's titles and compositions are full of visual puns and humor.
Bill Will created this series for Multiples: The Sciences and Art (1991), an exhibition of ten micro-collections commissioned to tour Washington State school districts. The micro-collections offer different perspectives of ten artists exploring ideas and issues related to science, and ask students to re-consider assumed and widely accepted aspects of science.
This artwork was acquired for the State Art Collection in partnership with Multiples: The Sciences and Art Collection.
