Eleanor Rahim: Oh Rats!

Oh Rats!

I laughed out loud when I passed Lever House on Park Avenue earlier this week. Lurking in the courtyard of the iconic building stands a 12 ft tall cast bronze rat which is a replica of the inflatable 'scab rats' often seen in NYC outside businesses accused of bad labor practices. Mmn, interesting that it should find it's way to Park Avenue where many bank headquarters are located. Bravo to Bruce High Quality Foundation for the exhibit.

“As a Feng Shui consultant and integrative designer, I look for specific representation and metaphor in artwork. The first time I saw a piece of Eleanor’s work, [Fluid State] I was struck first by its movement, which can be very effective in energizing a particular area of one’s life or business if it is placed prescriptively. The other aspect which I found potent, is her use of color. Color interprets the ‘five elements’ or what is referred to as ‘agents of change’ in feng shui. 'Fluid State' is primarily whites and blues - the metal and water elements. Metal represents virtue, communication, joy and creativity. Water is associated with wisdom, one’s path in life and finances. I immediately thought I love this piece and what a powerful adjustment it would make for my client.”
