This is a piece in which I wanted to leave the narrative open and have the viewer actively involved in creating the story associated with it.
I created three different top pieces and three different arm pieces, so that the viewer can change them out and have different versions of the same piece.
I created the head, initially, without any top, so that the brain is exposed. Then the viewer can add one of three of different tops to the head, a small balding forehead; a large balding forehead or a cowboy hat.
The arm can be changed so the subject is holding a pipe, a bottle or a handgun.
