About this artwork
"Ferris Wheel" shows the bright possibilities of youth when maternal protection and love is applied. The child is shown in various poses, expressing a variety of emotions. Children are so precious, forming the future world as parents fulfill their destiny. The viewpoint is from the child's level. The adults are at their own summer party. The Ferris wheel was photographed by the artist in the 1970's in the Cape Hatteras region of North Carolina.…
The giant head is the late Roman emperor Constantine. The actual head (now in Rome) is only about 9 feet tall. It was part of a sculpture of the emperor seated on a throne, estimated to have been about 40 feet in height overall. The coloration and eye direction are the artist's design, made to fit the intention within the artwork.
