The last time we visited the Linde Gallery, Ian McMahon was still in the process of installing his piece, Tether. We felt it was time to introduce the children to the finished artwork. With so many questions and comments from the children, we thought it would be helpful for them to record in their journals what they saw.

The black things make it look squishy. Charlotte
It looks squishy – because the poles are holding it up. Violet

They’re so pretty. Parker
