Many thanks to reader and stay-at-home Dad DK for sending this beautiful playground slide by sculptor Tom Otterness. I especially like the figures hidden on the slide's interior, giving the child something extra to discover. A private commission, tucked away for some lucky (and presumably wealthy) kid...dare we hope that when the child is grown it will be donated to some lucky public playspace?
In 1977 Artist Tom Otterness was involved in another art project. He bought a shelter dog, chained it to a fence, shot it to death and filmed the murder in a movie he called 'Shot Dog Film'!!!
ReplyDeleteI don't care how artistic you are Mr. Otterness - That is a trait displayed by a sociapathic member of society!!!
