The size of Ron Mueck |
Earlier in the year I visited the Nasher Museum of art at Duke University. The museum was solid but one piece in particular truly stood out.

What I love most about Ron’s work isn’t the incredible level of attention to detail, but rather the way in which his work plays with size.
