Tom Otterness’s Crying Giant is one of our earliest memories of visiting Delaware Art Museum. Driving in, it stands out in the Copeland Sculpture Garden. We have a friend who walks there frequently and I always look forward to her latest photograph of the big, sad guy.
The Museum dedicated a nearby magnolia tree to Mary and I often think of Crying Giant as her most commited mourner.
I was intimidated to build him out of Lego for his curvy limbs and round body. I was also driven by the challenge.
The pieces came together quickly as I worked from top to bottom. I may modify a couple things, or try a completely new build, but I’m very happy about capturing some of the curves and overall demeanor.
God bless and thank you for reading,
Jason
