"Humpty Dumpty," by David Walters, 2018

01

Artifact Overview

Dave Walters loves narrative in his sculptures. Initially fascinated with Classical mythology and subjects like Aesop's fables, he found that audiences responded to more accessible fairy tales and nursery rhymes, which is how he turned to the Humpty Dumpty story. This piece in his long-running series is fabricated from Greenfield Village glass.
