Shoe Sculpture

Shoe Animals

These animals are residents of our cityscapes and our psyche.

They are “big game” animals, symbols of the natural uncontrollable

landscape, the frontier.

They are the true sublime, our subconscious, the dreamscape, the

other. They are essential. They are dangerous. They are hilarious.

They are gruesome. They are cute. They are trash. They are art.
