The inspiration for the art is a whimsical look at modern urban life. It combines the practical realities of dense condo living with the dreams experienced by urban dwellers based on what they hope to achieve in the city together with the nuances of their previous experiences. The ducks are both a fun substitution for people, as well as they represent calm within stressful city living. MIXED MEDIA: wood, plastic, polymer clay, acrylic paint, wax, and flexi-glass.
