Paola Biancalana's ceramic whistles at The Noguchi Museum

The next time I am in NYC, I am making a beeline to the Noguchi Museum to get one of Paola Biancalana's animal-shaped whistles (some are shaped like whales and make whale sounds). I love how the artist describes them:

"Biancalana describes the objects as both comical and mysterious — breath blows them to life, evoking memories of the Myth of Creation. In moments of sadness, she says, their powerful hiss will ward off negative thoughts and bring upon good luck."
