In response to my companion piece, Follow The Leader, No Worse For Wear, a high-fired ceramic and encaustic sculpture uses the same vintage roly-poly toy imagery, this time with only 5 small faded mutant clowns surrounding a larger apocalyptic toy in a gas mask, reminding the viewer to consider the consequences, the aftermath, of action or inaction. Remember, there is always an “after” someone has to live through and we help shape that future.
