What emotion does the image convey?
What title would you give the artwork?
This artwork has no official title, but it is called ´bird´. Is it actually a bird? After all, it has no beak and with such a short tail could it even fly? Well what the heck, at least you can sit on it and stroke its hard bronze head. He is as big or maybe smaller than many children. Day and night he sits in the hall of the hospital. Is he waiting for someone? Or does he like it nice and warm here inside the hall? The artwork was created by Tom Claassen. He uses characteristics of people, animals and objects. Because of the large size of this animal, you can't get around him. The large round shapes of this animal are combined with its large size and weight which invites the viewer to touch and pet it.
