When Taylor Herrick first told me what he had in mind for this piece, I was excited because I saw the possibility for a beautiful sculpture. “Merry Sunshine” quarter life-size is sized to perfectly fit on a desk, windowsill, tabletop, or wherever it may please you.
“Merry Sunshine” Quarter Life-size, “Merry Sunshine” Half Life-size and “Merry Sunshine” Life-size are each made by hand, one at a time, in Colorado, USA. Each is signed, numbered, and includes my mark.
“Merry Sunshine” Half Life-size was made specifically to show in ANIMAL GROUPS, but production took too long, so…
“Merry Sunshine” Quarter Life-size was included in the invitational exhibition, ANIMAL GROUPS, curated by David J. Wagner, LLC. Exhibition venues included The Dane G. Hansen Museum, Logan, KS, and The Sternberg Museum of Natural History at Fort Hays State University, Hays, KS.
