This was a sculpture that I first thought up over a year and a half ago, and really wanted to do as a life-size figure. I never seem to have the time, however, so I finally decided just to create it as a small sculpture.
More picturesThis piece was inspired by one of my sayings, "everything familiar is normal". We get so accustomed to the things in our life -- whether they're good or not -- that we don't see them for what they are. It's why people behave terribly or not, why cars run on gas or not, why we get fat or not, etc. Sooner or later, if we don't take a fresh, "lets-pretend-its-not-normal" look at things, we may be surprised that our entire world -- physically, socially, and spiritually -- has become a terrible mess.
