Fan (Spain, 2019)
"I chose this art work because it reminds me of a fan I bought in Spain in 2019. When I was a child, I loved the musical Carmen and would always dress up in long skirts and flamenco dance my way around the house. The fan and this art work reminds me of that time."

Pass Me the Salt & Pepper (England, 1960’s)
"I spotted my petrol station shakers in a charity shop and had to have them! I like how unique the designs of salt & pepper shakers can be, and so I wondered which sculptures on Art UK would make a great set of shakers. Tony Cragg's wonderful Dancing Columns would work well!"
.
Dancing Doll (India, 1997)
"My family bought my dancing doll whilst travelling in India and I played with her all the time, gently tapping her head and skirt so they would move. I'm surprised she is still in good condition! This sculpture by Dutkiewjcz reminds me of her because of the sense of dance-like movement, hinted at in the title."
