Combining the old, the new, and the strange, Friedeberg composes a gilded wooden rocking horse and a red and blue bust of Freud nestled inside a wooden frame with feet. In traditional Surrealist fashion, Friedeberg states, “Who knows what one does or why? I think of my work as a pastiche. There’s a little bit of everything I like in there.”
