Someone spent a lot of time on this sculpture, but what I like best about it is that it’s made out of wood, hopefully culled from a rain forest somewhere in the Pacific Northwest, and fastened to a board with a toxic adhesive derived from the bile of boogeymen and tested on lab-rabbits’ eyes as required by the EPA.
It also takes electrical energy to view it. Real electrical energy with tungsten filaments heating up the atmosphere to prevent imminent Global Cooling. Cutsey little weenie curly fluorescent lamps just don’t cut it here.
I suppose you could mount it on a wall perpendicular to the rays of the sun, but then you could only see the image for about 30 seconds two times a year. If the day is overcast after you and your friends rearranged work schedules just to view it, you’re screwed, and that would suck donkeys big time.

And the human shadow… a person, or a wo-mannequin ?

Why am I thinking some high level Federal employee, sitting there, putting in time until retirement and who’s tired of watching porn all morning….

Dan– Yes. I’d call her Peg, or maybe Sunny, because Woody’s a guy’s name.
Tattoo Jim– Good question. My first impression had to do with bongs. Same difference, I guess.

When I was a child, we didn’t have any of this new-fangled internet porn. We had to make our own with whatever we had at home.

wheels– Yep. I know what you mean. I walked to elementary school with a pen knife in my pocket to sharpen my pencil. We had to make our own Lincoln Logs. Out of wood. With pen knives. With our hands. How did we survive? As for pron, we drew tits in the dirt. With a stick.

LOL. That might be a good title for an innocuous post: “Tits in the dirt.” Bet it gets more hits than “Lesbian Amputee Dwarf Porn.”
