     The pilot goggles were an "after design" decision, and therefore an added piece of stone. However, I was not there the days the guys decided they had time to drill the holes to attach the goggles... and subsequently, they are in the wrong place! I intended for them to rest of that famous wooden nose of Pinocchio. Boh!

      I was in the United States during the art reception in April 2017.  I was, however, thrilled that I was invited to see the installation of my work the autumn before. The sculptor who arranged all of this wanted to put the piece on a high base and face the bird and puppet towards a building, thinking that this showed off the best sides. I wanted the piece lower to the ground so kid's could see and touch (and hide the too-high goggle gap), and also point the bird between the trees. Why would a bird fly into a building? Here, I am checking the position before marking and mounting.
