Ceramic on wood sculpture.
9x12x9"
While I Was Sleeping is a contemporary ceramic sculpture mounted on birch wood. It measures 12" x 9" x 9".
It encourages the viewer to look up close at the tilted head, closed eyes and empty head. Is he dreaming, thinking or contemplating? That is for the viewer to decide.
