About five weeks ago I wrote a post titled Big Week. With that post I used a photo of an art work titled Big Man.I added the following credit to that post: Ron Mueck (Australian, b. 1958). Big Man, 2000. Mixed media, 80 x 47 1/2 x 80 1/2 in. (203.2 x 120.7 x 204.5 cm). Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C.
But that was clearly not enough. I get a lot of comments about the images I use on this blog but the Big Man generated a small but powerful wave of communication from many places. Yes he does look like me or I like he, whichever. So here are more views of the Big Man, including a short video, if you are interested. And yes, I am using that first picture, the face and hand only, as my look-alike on Facebook. This last one conveys the feeling I get sometimes when I go looking for companionship, partnership or perhaps love via an online dating service. I call it: Naked Scrutiny.
