Arms and Legs, Jeepers Creepers explores emotional presence through interactive, small-scale sculptures made from fabric, ceramic, and wood. Movement and touch are central: some works respond to touch with sound, while others include kinetic parts. These sculptures act as companions—intimate, playful, and emotionally resonant. Shifting from large to pocket-sized formats, the project emphasizes tactile engagement and personal interaction, questioning how emotionality, often marginalized in society, can become a visible and valued force. It invites reflection on care, identity, and shared vulnerability.
During her journey, Hanna Schibel was inspired by the “caterpillars—crawling creatures” as a procession, a personal and collective motif. Over time, the work transformed into an installation interwoven with poetry and storytelling, culminating in a generous and intimate open studio where visitors could engage directly with the sculptures and their playful, emotional world.
