Boy child's first look at art is usually from a different perspective than the artist or installer intended. Having eyes located just four feet away from the ground helps but he also likes to have a look at the undercarriage, sides and back before asking to have his nearly seventy pound body picked up for an aerial view. There are a quite a few assumptions built into any art show (DO NOT TOUCH, STAND BACK.) Boy child laughs in the face of conventions. He has a good look and knows all the angles, maybe some the artist herself didn't see.
The fresh and new perspectives of children is what we need more of, or at least to value more, in this world. Great picture, too!
