Today, moving in one direction, nine ceramic roly-poly toy clowns parade after a larger gilded hypnotic pompous clown. Moving in the opposite direction, five deformed, encaustic covered, ceramic clowns follow a larger apocalyptic mutant Mickey wearing a gas mask. Our future?
I am combining my pieces "Follow The Leader" and "No Worse For Wear," into "Following The Leader Wherever He May Go."
Nine high-fired ceramic and encaustic roly-poly toy clowns parade after a larger gilded hypnotic pompous clown. I started this idea in the summer of 2016 when the thought of our current state was a far off nightmare, a joke. I finished it using the same vintage roly-poly toy imagery, but this time only 5 deformed clowns surrounding a larger apocalyptic mutant Mickey wearing a gas mask. Our future?

I am combining my pieces "Follow The Leader" and "No Worse For Wear," into "Following The Leader Wherever He May Go."
'Follow The Leader,' is a high-fired ceramic and encaustic sculpture of nine small, faded, vintage, roly-poly toy clowns parading after a larger gilded hypnotic pompous clown. I started this idea in the summer of 2016 when the thought of our current state was a far off nightmare, a joke.
In response to 'Follow The Leader', 'No Worse For Wear,' is a high-fired ceramic and encaustic sculpture, using the same vintage roly-poly toy imagery, this time with only 5 small faded mutant clowns surrounding a larger apocalyptic mutant Mickey wearing a gas mask, reminding the viewer there is always the “after” that someone gets left with and we help shape that future.
